A mechanical failure occurred with the drying equipment in the process of production Sunday at a workshop of Binsheng Trading Co. Ltd. in Pengshan County, according to the local government information office.

An explosion happened at 7.55 p.m. when repairs were being carried out by technicians. The blast flattened parts of the factory building.
