Hanoi, July 30 -- An explosion occurred at a firework manufacturing plant in Suphan Buri province, central Thailand, on July 30, resulting in multiple casualties.
The factory ignited around 11:00 am in Mueang district of Suphan Buri province, north of Bangkok.
The provincial public relations department said the initial tally showed 10 people were involved in the incident. Meanwhile, local media reported that at least nine were killed.
Factory fires are common in Thailand, where enforcement of safety regulations remain weak.
Last year, an explosion at another firework factory in the same province killed at least 23 people./.
