Several people were injured in an explosion at a factory in Qatar’s Ras Laffan Industrial City, the Interior Ministry said on Sunday.

The ministry attributed the blast to a technical fault during operations at one of the area’s factories, though no leak threatening public safety had been recorded.

It did not identify the factory or specify the number or condition of the injured.

Earlier today, the Interior Ministry had reported an explosion in Ras Laffan caused by a technical incident.

Ras Laffan, located in northern Qatar, is one of the world’s largest liquefied natural gas production and export hubs. Its port is a major terminal for Qatari LNG shipments.
