On the first floor of the factory building, only the crumbly skeleton remains, and all the objects inside are shattered and protruding out.

Towards the top of the building, the whole roof has been torn out to the point where there is no place for it.

The windows of the Kangwon Provincial Meteorological Administration, which is 200 meters away from the accident site, were broken, and explosions were heard at Gangneung Station, 7 kilometers away.

Immediately after the explosion, white smoke like mushroom clouds rose above the plant.

Employees at nearby factories and agencies were evacuated urgently, believing that a major earthquake had occurred.

The explosion did not lead to a fire, but two people were killed and four others were seriously injured.

One person is buried in the building debris.

[Person in charge of Gangwon Fire Fighting Headquarters: Gas is exploded now. There is no fire. I am rescuing people now.]

The fire department said it will determine the exact cause of the explosion and the extent of the damage as soon as the accident is resolved.
