At least one person has died and another has been injured following an explosion at a pharmaceutical factory in Taiwan’s Taoyuan City.
The blast on Sunday caused a fire at a factory, which wasn’t fully extinguished until Tuesday.
Thick smoke was also seen rising into the air for several days after the explosion.
An investigation pointed to a chemical leak in nearby sewers as the reason the blaze kept burning despite a prompt intervention from local firefighters.
A 30-year-old foreign worker from the Philippines suffered third-degree burns to 80%-90% of his body and subsequently died on Monday in hospital.
Another 40-year-old man suffered burns to his hand.
The cause of the explosion remains under investigation.
