A gas tanker had abruptly caught fire and exploded, destroying the factory. Video footage on social media showed an explosion launch a ball of fire into the sky, sending workers scrambling for cover. Firefighters cleared the area within a few hours, pulling bodies out on stretchers and leaving the factory a charred ruin. Earlier this year, a fire caused partial damage to the presidential palace in Khartoum.
