By 6 PM on July 6th, authorities from Bac Tan Uyen District Police and the local labor union were actively investigating the cause of the explosion at Hoang Thong Wood Company, located in Tan Binh Industrial Park, Tan Binh town, Bac Tan Uyen District, Binh Duong Province.
According to an initial report from Hoang Thong Wood Company, the explosion occurred around 2 PM while workers were performing maintenance on the dust extraction system inside the factory. The sudden blast from the dust storage tank threw several workers off their feet, causing severe burns.
