PARIS (Sputnik) — Six people, two of them seriously, have been injured in an explosion at an incense factory in Montrouge, a southern suburb of the French capital, French media reported Monday.
The explosion occurred at about 11 a.m. local time (10:00 GMT) and the emergency service arrived at the scene shortly afterward, with two individuals most seriously injured sent to two different hospitals in Paris, according to Le Parisien newspaper.
A century-old factory, where Armenian Paper incense was produced, reportedly stored vats of ethanol and was, therefore, a high explosion risk.
The newspaper also reported, citing locals, that the actual cause of the blast was still unknown.
