\"\"VOA \u2014 DUBAI – Two people were killed in an explosion at a factory in the south of Tehran, state news agency IRNA reported on Tuesday, in the latest in a series of fires and explosions, some of which have hit sensitive sites.<\/p>\n

“Human error was the cause of the blast in a factory… Two people were killed and three others were injured,” said local official Amin Babai, adding that the explosion happened in “an industrial zone” at Baqershahr near Tehran.<\/p>\n

“The explosion that was caused by some workers’ negligent handling of oxygen tanks…. was so powerful that the walls of a factory nearby were also totally destroyed.”<\/p>\n

Last Thursday, a fire broke out at a ground level building at Iran’s underground Natanz facility, the centerpiece of Iran’s uranium enrichment program, which the authorities said had caused significant damage.<\/p>\n

Also last week, 19 people were killed in an explosion at a medical clinic in the north of Tehran, which an official said was caused by a gas leak.<\/p>\n

On June 26, an explosion occurred east of Tehran near the Parchin military and weapons development base that authorities said was caused by a leak at a gas storage facility in an area outside the base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
