A powerful explosion at the Shandong Youdao Chemical Company in Gaomi, Shandong Province, killed 5 people and injured 19. Security footage showed a tank exploding and a worker fleeing the scene as flames and thick smoke engulfed the area.
A total of 232 emergency personnel were deployed to the site. The blast was so intense that it shattered windows of a warehouse 3 kilometers away. The factory produces pesticides and medical chemicals. Chinese state media confirmed the casualties.
