The explosion at the petrochemical plant in the vicinity of Cairo Airport violated the work of the air harbor.

Thursday night explosion at a petrochemical plant, located near the International Airport of Cairo, seriously injured 12 people and violated the work of the air harbor. Despite the fact that the fire and the consequences of the explosion have already been eliminated, the work of the international airport is seriously violated - according to the online scoreboard, departures and arrivals of aircraft are carried out with delays.

12 people who suffered as a result of the explosion were taken to medical institutions, while, according to official sources, the lives of the victims are not threatened, although the injuries received by them are very difficult.

As it turned out, the cause of the explosion at the petrochemical plant was intense heat, which was the reason for the ignition of petroleum products in one of the large tanks. As a result of the explosion, the shock wave knocked out the glass in the terminals, which wounded the passengers who were here.

Experts try to establish the use of dangerous substances in the air, but given the fact that Cairo International Airport functions, although with interruptions, there is no danger.
