A fire broke out at a factory on Jan. 8, 2026, severely injuring a worker, 30, who died five days later on Jan. 13, 2026, according to police. The explosion occurred during a chemical mixing operation.
At the time of the accident, the worker was mixing hazardous materials and other organic substances. Vapors generated during the process reacted with static electricity, causing an explosion followed by a fire, according to investigators.
An automatic fire suppression system at the factory activated immediately, preventing the flames from spreading further. The worker, who was working at the site, suffered extensive burns.
