Report: One dead, two injured in explosion at gunpowder warehouse in central Iran
At least one person is dead and two others are injured as a result of an explosion in a warehouse in Isfahan, central Iran, local media reports.
The explosion is said to have occurred at a warehouse of the fireworks and gunpowder manufacturer Avanar Parsian Chemical Industries Complex.
Iran International reports, however, that Avanar Parsian may also have ties to the Iranian military, as it holds licenses that allow it to produce and trade commercial, industrial, and chemical explosives.
The warehouse blast comes on the heels of a deadly explosion and fire at a port in southern Iran earlier this week, in which more than 70 people were killed and over 1,000 were injured.
