The incident occurred in the power plant located in the 10th sector of Tha Tum sub-district, Sri Mahatpho district, Prachinburi province. Nearby residents who witnessed the explosion managed to capture footage of the incident as it happened.

 

The fire quickly spread, engulfing the power plant and prompting an immediate response, reported Siam Rath.

Currently, authorities are on-site conducting preliminary investigations. Initial findings suggest that the fire originated from a blaze in the electrical transmission lines that supply power to various factories within the Nikhom Uttharachai 304 industrial estate.

 

Further updates on the progress of the investigation will be provided as they become available.
