One person was killed and 13 others were injured in an explosion at a metal plant in Ohio, located in the US Midwestern region.
The US media quoted local authorities as saying that the explosion occurred in a factory producing copper alloys in the Oakwood Village, which caused a huge fire, killing one person and injuring 13 others, who were taken to hospital.
Firefighters indicated that investigations are underway to ascertain the cause of the accident.
This is not the first time that the state of Ohio has witnessed a massive fire this month. On Feb 3, a train carrying a chemical substance derailed, which caused a huge fire and the evacuation of hundreds of people. The train was carrying vinyl chloride, a chemical used in the plastic industry.
