The cistern hit a gas pipe and the fence of a household. The area was immediately isolated and the gas supply was turned off.
 
The spokesperson of the local emergency inspectorate, Anemona Doda, said there is no danger of explosion in the area.
 
"The area doesn’t need to be evacuated. There is no danger of explosion as the LPG hasn’t leaked and the car’s tank didn’t crack. The gas pipe it fell on is just bended, not broken,” Doda said.
