Dramatic CCTV footage has captured the exact moment a suspected gas explosion tore through a shop in Indonesia, sending sneakers flying off the walls and reducing the room to rubble in seconds. The video, recorded inside a sneakers store two units away from Depot Nasi Tempong Sri Dewi in Pakuwon City, Surabaya, shows the wall suddenly shattering as the blast from the neighboring restaurant erupts. Debris and smoke flood the retail space while high-value inventory tumbles everywhere. A second clip reveals the aftermath, with injured restaurant workers sitting on the street covered in dust and receiving aid amid widespread rubble, damaged vehicles, and shattered storefronts. Police dispatched a bomb squad to the scene but quickly determined the October 6, 2026, blast was caused by an LPG gas leak from the restaurant’s kitchen piping. Five employees were injured with no fatalities reported, while 41 buildings in the commercial strip suffered damage.

The powerful force of the explosion highlighted the hidden risks of gas systems in busy retail areas packed with expensive stock. Investigators confirmed the leak originated in the kitchen, building pressure until it ignited during morning operations. Nearby shop owners watched their inventories and storefronts take the hit from the shockwave that traveled through shared walls. Emergency teams moved quickly to treat the injured and secure the area as dust settled over the wreckage. The footage has spread rapidly, giving a raw before-and-after view of how quickly a routine gas leak can turn catastrophic. Authorities continue examining the piping and cylinders to prevent similar incidents in Surabaya’s dense commercial zones. The event stands as a stark reminder of the need for rigorous safety checks around high-pressure gas equipment in mixed-use buildings.
