An explosion at Qatar’s largest liquefied natural gas processing plant injured 54 people and left 18 missing, authorities said.
Qatar’s Ministry of Interior announced on Monday it has sent the country’s International Search and Rescue Group to look for individuals missing after a “internal explosion” at Ras Laffan Industrial City.
The ministry did not say what condition the injured victims of the tragedy were in, and blamed the occurrence on a “technical malfunction”.
Earlier, officials claimed civil defence troops rushing to the scene had not documented any injuries.
The government stated there were no leaks from the plant that could endanger public safety.
QatarEnergy, which runs the industrial center, said emergency response teams were sent in quickly after the explosion at the Barzan complex and were able to contain a fire at the facility.
Some 80km (50 miles) north of Doha is Ras Laffan Industrial City, home to the world’s largest LNG export terminal, providing nearly one fifth of worldwide supply.
The Iranian missile and drone attacks targeted the industrial hub and caused “significant damage” in March, the Qatari authorities announced in March.
QatarEnergy has exercised the force majeure clause in some of its contracts to relieve itself from its supply obligations after the attacks, affecting customers in Italy, Belgium, South Korea and China.The ministry, citing a “technical malfunction,” did not disclose details on the health of individuals harmed in the event.
