Massive Explosion and Fire Engulfs Industrial Area in Ezeiza, Argentina
A big boom happened at a factory area in Ezeiza, Argentina, and it started a huge fire.
The explosion was so powerful that it was seen and felt by many people, and even made windows break in nearby towns.
The fire spread quickly to five different factories that make things like chemicals and plastic.
It's a very big and difficult fire to put out.
The smoke from the fire made it hard for planes to land and take off at the nearby airport, causing delays.
So far, at least 22 people have been hurt.
Nobody knows exactly why the explosion happened yet, and they are working to figure it out and stop the fire.
A massive explosion and subsequent fire occurred at the Spegazzini Industrial Park in Ezeiza, Argentina.
At least 22 people were injured in the incident.
Five factories, including those producing chemical products and plastics, were engulfed in flames.
