MEXICO CITY - The death toll in the explosion at the headquarters of Mexico's oil giant Pemex rose to 25 late Thursday, the interior minister said.
"We have up to now 25 people dead -- 17 women and eight men," Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong told a news conference, adding that 101 people were injured.
One person has been pulled from the rubble, but Osorio Chong said it was hard to know whether anybody else was trapped, some seven hours after the blast.
The interior minister said the cause of the blast was under investigation and remained unknown.
