KARACHI, Aug 21, (AP): An explosion at a fireworks storage facility in Pakistan's southern port city of Karachi injured at least 25 people, some of them critically, police and hospital officials said. Television footage showed thick smoke billowing into the sky from the building where the firecrackers were stored.
Broken glasses from nearby shop windows littered the road as panicked residents rushed from the scene, witnesses said. Firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze while ambulances transported the injured, including passersby to several hospitals, senior police officer Asad RAza said.
