A major gas leak at an industrial site in Lier, Norway, led to the evacuation of 15 homes, affecting 35 residents.
Emergency services established a 200-meter safety zone around the site, where a propane tank's safety valve malfunctioned, causing the leak.
Power in the area was temporarily cut to manage the situation.
The leak was successfully stopped early Monday morning, and residents were allowed to return home.
No injuries were reported, and authorities are investigating the technical failure that caused the incident.
