An explosion at a restaurant has killed one person and injured several others in the German city of Ansbach, near Nuremberg, the Nuernberger Nachrichten newspaper reported late on Sunday. It said the cause of the blast was unknown.

A police spokesman in Anspach confirmed that an explosion had been reported, but had no further information.

Germany's NTV television reported that officials suspected the explosion was caused by a gas leak.
