Xinhua reported: > The fire at the scene has been effectively brought under control and protective burning is currently being carried out. > According to our initial understanding, the fire has already caused one death. The fire erupted as Shanghai, China’s industrial engine and most populous city resumes business after being sealed off for around two months to counter a coronavirus outbreak driven by the Omicron variant. At the petrochemical plant, an early morning explosion was heard by residents up to six kilometres (four miles) away, according to local media. Videos on social media showed a large cloud of fire and ash billowing upwards. The Shanghai fire department said on Weibo that it had dispatched more than 500 personnel immediately after the incident around 4:28 am. The Ministry of Emergency Management has dispatched an expert group to the scene, CCTV reported. Reports have not stated a possible cause of the fire. *More: Pindula News is best enjoyed via the App. Download it here* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
