13 Dead, 66 Injured in Gas Facility Explosion in Qatar
Qatar's Interior Ministry said 13 people were killed and 66 injured in an explosion at gas facilities in the Ras Laffan industrial area in Qatar. A previous report had put the toll at 54 injured and 18 missing in the same incident.
The updated figures were released after the blast at the gas site, but no further details about the cause of the explosion or the identities of the victims were provided in the report. The incident took place in one of Qatar's major industrial energy zones.
Authorities have not said whether the casualty numbers may change again, and the report did not mention any rescue or investigation developments. The latest official count replaces the earlier, incomplete account of the event.
