Qatar reports explosion at factory in Ras Laffan, several injured
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleQatar’s interior ministry says an explosion resulting from a “technical accident” occurred at a factory in Ras Laffan, an industrial city north of the capital Doha and site of the country’s core LNG processing operations.
It says several injuries were reported but no leak that “threatens safety.”
The ministry does not give the exact location of the explosion, but a source with knowledge of the matter says it occurred at the Barzan gas plant in Ras Laffan and was due to an “operational error.”
