A fireworks explosion seriously injured 22 people, including six children between ages 11 and 15, during a popular Cuban carnival on Christmas Eve, state-run media reported on Monday.
The centuries-old Parrandas festival in the central town of Remedios takes place every Dec. 24 and draws thousands of Cubans and some tourists.
“An unfortunate accident with fireworks occurred last night in Remedios,” the government’s Cuba debate internet news service reported.
Among the 22 injured, according to Cuba debate, health authorities said some were in “very grave, some less grave, and others in critical and very critical condition.”
All the injured appeared to be local residents and the report did not mention that any tourists were hurt.
Two of the town’s neighbourhoods compete on Christmas Eve each year to put on the most spectacular show with floats and fireworks amidst a carnival atmosphere.
The cause of the explosion was under investigation, according to official media.
