Two persons died in an explosion at a firecracker manufacturing factory at Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu's Virudhunagar district, said the police on Thursday.
After an explosion in an illegal firecracker factory in which at least 9 people were killed, the locals accuse the state administration of not taking timely action against the factory which they say making lethal explosives and guns.
According to local authorities, explosions were reported in the Russian-occupied city of Luhansk in eastern Ukraine, which serves as a key hub for Moscow's purported "special military operation," CNN reported.
The blast possibly came from a van in the city. Several vehicles are engulfed in flames, with thick plumes of thick black smoke seen rising above the wreckage, as per videos shown by local media in the UK.
After a low-intensity blast took place in the vicinity of the Golden Temple in Punjab's Amritsar in the early hours of Thursday, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee chief Harjinder Singh Dhami accused the state government of being a "total failure" in preventing such incidents.
The Punjab Police said that there is a possibility that the loud sound which was heard near Sri Guru Ram Dass Niwas, in the vicinity of the Golden Temple in Amritsar in the wee hours on Thursday, was the result of an explosion.
