An external gas leak from a pipeline in Barcelona's Sant Martí district forced the preventive confinement of residents within a 200-meter perimeter, activating the PROCICAT plan's pre-alert phase.

The incident, recorded on April 21, 2026, was located at the intersection of Rambla Prim and Cristóbal de Moura. Authorities proceeded to confine residents in the area as a precautionary measure.
Various emergency bodies, including agents from the Fire Department, the Mossos d'Esquadra, and Barcelona's Guàrdia Urbana, quickly deployed to the scene to manage the situation and ensure public safety.
Subsequently, Protecció Civil reported that the gas leak had been resolved with no injuries recorded. Consequently, the preventive confinement was lifted, and the PROCICAT plan's pre-alert was deactivated.
