A powerful explosion occurred at a chemical plant in Liaoning province on January 15. Video footage posted on social media shows massive plumes of presumably toxic smoke billowing out of the facility located in an urban area close to the city of Panjin.
Emergency teams are said to on-site be tackling the resulting blaze. The facility is believed to be the Panjin Haoye Chemical Company.
An investigation has reportedly been launched to try and determine the cause of the blast.
