It appears that the officers had gone to the house in the département of Allier, central France, to question a man when the explosion happened.
Local prosecutor Eric Neveu said: “Three gendarmes were seriously injured following an explosion in a house in which they had come to question an individual, who has died.”
Interior minister Gérald Darmanin is following the case and tweeted his support for the injured officers, saying that three were “very seriously injured”.
Sept gendarmes ont été blessés dont trois très grièvement à la suite d’une explosion dans le cadre d’une intervention dans l’Allier. Je leur apporte tout mon soutien.
