The nickel factory explodes/ 13 dead and dozens injured

The incident highlights security concerns at Indonesian industrial facilities, particularly those operated by Chinese companies

Thirteen people were killed and dozens injured in an explosion at a nickel processing plant in eastern Indonesia on Sunday, authorities said.

The incident happened at the PT Indonesia Tsingshan stainless steel factory, located in Indonesia Moroëali Industrial Park on Sulawesi Island, around Sunday morning.

According to Central Sulawesi police chief Agus Nugroho, the victims included eight Indonesians and five Chinese workers. 

The fire was extinguished later in the morning. Initial investigations suggest that the explosion occurred during repair work on the furnace.

In January, two workers, including a Chinese worker, were killed at a nickel smelter in the same industrial park. Later, in June, a fire at the same factory killed one and injured six others. / CNA
