Qatar’s interior ministry said a “technical incident” caused an explosion in the Ras Laffan industrial zone, leaving 54 people injured and 18 missing.
Qatari authorities have said that Sunday’s explosion was the result of an internal issue, but the site had already been badly damaged in the recent war between the US, Israel and Iran.
Iranian attacks during the war targeted Gulf energy infrastructure including Ras Laffan, which forced Qatar to halt gas production, dw.com reports.
