TEHRAN (Iran News) – An explosion killed a worker in an industrial zone in Iran’s central Isfahan Province on Saturday.

The blast struck on the Razi industrial estate in Shahreza county and was caused by a welder working on an oil tank, local crisis management chief Mansour Shishehforoush told IRNA.

“There was no oil inside the tank, but the welding caused the gas built up in it to explode.”

Firefighters later brought the blaze under control, AFP quoted the agency as saying, adding that Razi is “one of the largest chemical production industrial zones” in Iran.
