Several people were killed and others went missing after an explosion occurred at a military explosives production facility in Tennessee, according to reports by the Associated Press (AP) on October 10. Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis confirmed that “there are currently several people missing” and “several deceased.” The plant, owned by Accurate Energy Systems, remains under investigation, with authorities noting the cause of the blast is still unclear. Aerial footage revealed significant damage, including the destruction of a building and nearby vehicles.
The incident follows another explosion at a U.S. Steel steel mill in Pittsburgh on August 12, which killed two people and injured ten others.
