At around 2:20 PM, a fire erupted with multiple explosions at a plastic recycling and packaging production factory on Ngoc Lam street, Thuong Hong ward.

The factory, spanning thousands of square meters and one story high, was topped with a corrugated iron roof. Inside, it stored both raw materials and finished packaging products. Due to the intense heat from the blaze, a portion of the factory wall collapsed.

Firefighters are currently working to extinguish the blaze. There is no information on human casualties at this time.
