Gas explosion in Mukačevo Street in Prešov, Ruins from gas explosion at Mukačevo Street, Prešov, Slovakia.
The residential building at Mukačevo Street number 7 in Prešov suffered severe structural damage from a gas explosion on December 6, 2019, with multiple floors destroyed by the blast. The ruins remain visible today as a reminder of the disaster.
The explosion occurred in 2019 and was one of the worst residential disasters the city had experienced in recent decades. The event raised serious questions about gas infrastructure safety in residential areas.
The incident prompted an outpouring of community support, with neighbors and volunteers helping affected families and contributing to recovery efforts. This response reflected how people came together during the crisis.
The site is located in central Prešov and easily visible from the street, though access to the ruins themselves is restricted as it remains a sealed disaster area. Visitors should view it respectfully from a distance and outside any cordoned-off zones.
The force of the blast was powerful enough to shatter windows in neighboring buildings, affecting homes far beyond the immediate explosion site. Such destruction highlighted the scale of what had occurred.
