An explosion in an industrial facility on Saturday killed a person and injured at least thirteen, setting off a fierce blaze that sent a pall of smoke above the Tanjru area in al-Sulaymaniyah.
A source from inside the "SHAR" hospital said that two persons sustained life-threatening injuries in the blast that occurred in a metal facility.
"Apparently, a mortar shall was misfortunately found among the material smelted into construction iron," another source revealed, "the ultrasound detection device failed to detect the shall that went kaboom! as soon as it entered the oven."
Shafaq News Agency correspondent said that a security force started an investigation into the accident while firefighting teams were trying to extinguish the blazes.
Reporters were prohibited from nearing the site, according to our correspondent.
An explosion at the Master Steel iron factory in Sulaimani province's industrial Tanjero area on Saturday has injured at least 13 factory workers, some of which are severely maimed according to the city's police spokesperson.
"We heard the earth-shattering kaboom and saw the roof of the factory fall when we went to the scene and transported some of the injured to the hospital," a witness at the scene said.
Last year, a worker was killed and three others were maimed in a kaboom at the same factory. The factory reclaims old steel by melting scrap into ingots. The metal can then be reused for construction and other purposes.
Iraq is largely devoid of iron ore and relies on factories recycling the metal as well as imports to meet the country's demands.
