ALBAWABA - An explosion at a timber factory in southern Vietnam on Wednesday killed six people and injured seven, according to local sources.
The blast rocked the factory at about 8:00 a.m. at the Binh Minh Wood Production Company in Dong Nai province, and Vietnamese media said that it was caused by a defective boiler.
"Arriving the site, I saw a horrifying scene: debris scattered everywhere and several bodies lying in the yard," according to a witness quoted by news site VNExpress.
State media released footage of the site, where some 30 employees were working at the time, showing part of the building had collapsed, with the corrugated iron roofing flung to the ground.
The blast in Vinh Cuu district took place just a few minutes after workers finished maintenance on the boiler.
