A woman has been injured in a gas explosion in a house in Aberdeen.

Emergency services were called to Sycamore Place in Ferryhill at 9.20pm on Wednesday.

A 43-year-old woman was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary with minor injuries.

The explosion is believed to have been caused by a faulty boiler.

A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "Two people managed to get themselves out of the house when we arrived.

"We cordoned off the property and isolated the gas supply until engineers arrived on the scene."
