The accident occurred just before midnight outside a home, the Honolulu Fire Department said in a statement. The neighbourhood is near Honolulu’s international airport and a joint U.S. Air Force and Navy base and a little more than 3.22 kilometres east of the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial, which honours sailors who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor that drew the U.S. into World War II.

Two people were declared dead at the scene, and the other 20 victims were transported to hospitals, according to Honolulu Emergency Medical Services.

The fire department said it was investigating the cause of the blast and had no details about how the accident occurred. It said there was no fire at the home. The victims were not immediately identified.
