Earlier in the day, media reports suggested that multiple explosions occurred near Tajrish square in the Iranian capital.

An explosion and fire in a medical facility in the north of the Iranian capital killed 18 people, according to Press TV.

Earlier, the head of Tehran’s ambulance service, Peyman Saberian, told Fars news agency that the death toll from the blast was 13.

According to Iranian Fars News Agency, preliminary suspicions indicate that an oxygen tank was behind the blast.

The explosion occurred in the underground floors of the building which caused smoke to rise up through the floors, the agency reported, adding that firefighters have been able to localize the fire.

The incident comes several days after a large explosion occurred east of Tehran. According to the Iranian Defense Ministry spokesman, the incident was a gas tank explosion with no casualties being reported.
