- Leuna chemical plant fire successfully put out
At the Leuna Chemical Industrial Park, an incendiary situation arose early in the day after an explosion. By noon, as per a representative from the managing firm, Infraleuna, the flames had been subdued. No casualties were reported. The blast had originated within a semi-trailer. Community members on social media platforms shared accounts of a resonant boom and a lingering seismic shock that continued to resonate in adjacent residential districts. The occurrence transpired within Linde AG's facilities, a prominent gas manufacturer. The conflagration had minimal impact on the business operations at the chemical park. Linde AG is, at present, delving into the reasons underlying the explosion.
Linde AG spearheads the operation of the most extensive gas hub in Leuna, producing hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and unique gas compounds.
The explosion inside Linde AG's facilities caused a significant fire, as evidenced by the intense flames and smoke visible from a distance. Due to the quick response from the fire department and the robust safety measures in place, the fire was successfully extinguished before it could spread to other parts of the gas hub.
