Two pensioners have been taken to hospital after a gas blast flattened their home and prompted the evacuation of neighbouring homes.
Police said the home had been "totally demolished" by the blast and a 74-year-old woman and 77-year-old man had been taken to hospital.
Nine houses around the scene of the explosion in Murdiston Avenue, Callander, in central Scotland, had to be evacuated and the council has set up a rest centre in the town for those who have been asked to leave their homes.
Chief Inspector Russell Penman, of Central Scotland Police, said: "The house has been totally demolished as a result of the explosion.
"We are treating this as a suspected gas leak and inquiries are at a very early stage to establish the cause. Scotland Gas Networks are in attendance and working with us."
Emergency services were called at around 6am.
The couple were taken to Forth Valley Royal Infirmary. Their conditions are not known.
