4 killed in Chemical Factory explosion in India

A tragic incident unfolded in Telangana, southern India on Wednesday as a blast at a chemical factory claimed the lives of at least four individuals and left 16 others injured, according to a local police official speaking to Reuters.

CH Rupesh, a police official involved in the rescue efforts, disclosed that a team of 40 personnel was deployed on the ground to conduct rescue operations. Fortunately, all individuals who were trapped as a result of the explosion have been successfully rescued.
