GADANI: At least seven people were killed and over 40 injured after a loud blast rocked a ship docked in Gadani’s ship-breaking yard on Tuesday, setting the ship on fire.
Several labourers are feared to be trapped on the ship and rescue work is underway to take them out.
More than 25 of the injured have been rescued so far, rescue sources said.
According to sources, tanks on the ship caught fire, setting the entire ship ablaze. The fire is spreading fast, hampering rescue work.
The injured are being brought to hospitals in Karachi. Fire brigades summoned from Hub and Karachi are in the process of putting out the fire but with little progress so far, as the flames are spreading fast.
