Plumes of black smoke have filled the sky above the Vatican amid reports of an explosion.
Eyewitnesses spoke of seeing thick smoke coming from a building right next to the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church after a “loud boom”.
One news outlet in Rome claimed a large fire had erupted at an auto garage or wrecking yard near the walls of the Vatican.
There have been no official confirmation of the incident.
