The incident occurs at the steel melting shop operated by Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RIN), part of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant. The Times of India reports that a hot metal ladle falls and molten iron spills, triggering a massive fire in Steel Melting Shop One. The Hindu reports the blast occurred at around 4:40 p.m. and also places the deaths and injuries at the steel melting shop. Several injured workers are described as having extensive burns and are receiving treatment. Due to the severity of the burns, identifying the bodies is reported to be difficult. The Times of India characterizes the accident as the plant’s worst since a 2012 explosion.
