Blast at tank shell casing recycling plant leaves worker dead in southeastern S. Korea
By YonhapPublished : June 5, 2018 - 18:07
YANGSAN -- An explosion occurred on Tuesday at a plant that collects and recycles tank shell casings in southeastern South Korea, leaving a 20-year-old Russian worker dead, police said.
The explosion took place around 10:30 a.m. at the plant in Yangsan, a city in South Korea's southeastern province of South Gyeongsang.
The worker, whose name was withheld, was caught in the blast when a co-worker near him was cutting a 105mm tank shell casing with oxy-fuel welding equipment. The co-worker developed tinnitus -- a ringing in the ears -- as a result of the explosion.
