At least seven people, including three children, have died after a fuel truck blast next to a maternity hospital in Mexico City.
Dozens more have been injured, mayor Miguel Angel Mancera told local TV.
Some 32 adults and 22 children were injured in the blast outside the maternity and children's hospital in Cuajimalpa region, with many of them hit by flying glass.
None of the injuries were serious, the mayor said.
Some 37 patients have been moved to other hospitals for their own safety.
"We have to conduct an evacuation for safety because a lot of the people are babies in the crib area," Mr Mancera said.
The mayor said the blast was caused by a leak in the hose carrying gas from the truck to the hospital.
A column of smoke billowed over the area in the west of the city as firefighters tried to extinguish the flames.
Much of the building was left in ruins, with the heaviest damage was near the hospital's loading dock.
Mexico has been hit by other gas explosion tragedies in recent years.
Twenty-five people died in May 2013 when a gas tanker's container came loose on a motorway north of Mexico City, setting nearby homes and cars on fire.
Three people died last year in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas when a gas leak caused an explosion in a shopping centre.
