At least 40 people were killed and around 1,000 others injured in a massive explosion on Saturday at Shahid Rajaee port near Bandar Abbas in southern Iran's Hormozgan province, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
A huge plume of thick, grey smoke was seen rising from the Shahid Rajaee port complex. The Iranian government has said that the explosion was likely related to chemicals being stored.
