A devastating explosion occurred at a fireworks factory in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, shattering the peaceful morning. The incident, which took place around 11 am on Wednesday in Muang district of Surathani province, has resulted in at least nine deaths and injured at least two others.
Initial reports indicate that the explosion was extremely powerful, completely destroying the factory and leaving a scene littered with charred debris. Emergency teams and police swiftly arrived at the scene and began searching through the wreckage for victims.
Thailand’s police chief, Wanchai Khawram, stated, “We are working to determine the cause of the explosion.” Such accidents are not uncommon in the country, often caused by safety lapses and neglect of building and workplace precautions.
The tragic event recalls last year’s explosion at a fireworks factory in the same province, which killed 23 people. The number of workers present at Wednesday’s factory remains unconfirmed.
Following the blast, police and military personnel cordoned off the area, evacuating nearby residents to a safe distance to prevent further injuries.
