At least 89 people have been killed and 100 injured after a gas explosion tore through a packed restaurant in central India.

Dozens of office workers and schoolchildren were having breakfast in the popular restaurant in the town of Petlawad, in Madhya Pradesh state, when a gas cylinder exploded.

The explosion triggered a second blast of mine detonators stored illegally nearby, according to police sources, at around 8.30am local time (4am GMT).
