A blast at an illegal firecracker manufacturing unit left three people dead and several injured. Authorities are investigating the incident.
A violent explosion ripped through an illegal firecracker unit, claiming the lives of three workers and injuring several others. The blast occurred early in the morning, according to local sources, and the site was still under construction when the incident happened.
Police rushed to the scene and secured the area while emergency services attended to the injured. An investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the explosion and whether safety protocols were breached.
Illegal firecracker production has been a persistent problem in the region, with authorities warning that such units often ignore safety regulations and use unstable materials. The incident underscores the risks associated with unlicensed manufacturing.
A spokesperson for the local police department said that preliminary findings point to a short circuit in the storage area as a possible trigger, but a full forensic report is pending.
