TLAXCALA, Mexico (Reuters) -An explosion at a metal plant in Mexico’s central Tlaxcala state owned by Simec killed a minimum of 12 folks, state authorities mentioned on Wednesday.
The blast was seemingly triggered after smelting equipment collapsed, the state civil safety workplace mentioned in a social media put up.
These killed had been employees on the plant, the state prosecutor’s workplace advised Reuters. One individual is hospitalized in vital situation, the workplace added.
Authorities say they’re investigating what triggered the incident. Nevertheless, molten metal, when it comes into contact with water, causes an explosion.
Simec didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark.
