At Least 13 Killed in Fireworks Factory Explosion in Kerala's Thrissur District
At least 13 people were killed and others injured in a major explosion at a fireworks manufacturing unit in Mundathikode, Thrissur district, Kerala. Around 40 people including women, elderly and youngsters were in the sheds when the explosion occurred around 3pm. The unit was manufacturing crackers for the Thrissur Pooram festival starting Sunday. Five injured have over 70% burns. The tragedy follows a similar incident in Tamil Nadu's Virudhunagar two days earlier that killed 23 workers. Experts cited heatwave conditions as a possible factor, with a worker stating fire may have started from wicks drying in the open sun.
