A powerful explosion and a series of smaller ones rocked the Salina area on Monday morning as a fireworks factory blew up, sending a thick plume of smoke into the air.
The blast at the Lourdes Fireworks Factory on Triq il-Qadi damaged many properties in the area, but the police said all people who work on site and neighbours were accounted for.
Two men, aged 47 and 67, who tilled nearby fields were hospitalised and treated for shock and slight injuries. A number of farm animals are believed to have been killed.
