    DUBAI, July 11 (Reuters) - A gas explosion shook a residential building in Iran's capital Tehran on Saturday, injuring one person, the semi-official ISNA news agency quoted the city fire department as saying.

    Several gas cylinders kept in a basement blew up, damaging the building and injuring a resident, a fire department spokesman told ISNA.

    There have been several explosions around Iranian military, nuclear and industrial facilities since late June. (Reporting by Dubai newsroom; Editing by Andrew Cawthorne)
