On Friday, a powerful explosion occurred in an industrial area in Ezeiza, south of Buenos Aires, causing a major fire and injuring 22 people, according to local authorities. Mayor Gaston Granados described the situation as "horrifying," noting that the fire is difficult to control. Among the injured is a pregnant woman who was poisoned and a patient who suffered a cardiac arrest. The cause of the explosion remains unknown, and five facilities were affected. The industrial area hosts various companies, including those that handle chemical products and tires, which further complicates the fire situation. The director of civil protection in the province of Buenos Aires, Fabian Garcia, warned that the fire is a major one and will take time to extinguish.
