Explosion at Indonesian nickel plant kills 13 people

More than 10 people have died, and dozens more are injured after an explosion at a nickel plant in Indonesia. Nine of the victims were Indonesian, and four were Chinese. The incident unfolded after repair work on a furnace mixed with flammable liquid ignited and caused oxygen tanks to explode. It took crews several hours to bring the fireball under control. The Chinese-funded plant said it would cover the cost of treatments for victims. Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
