SAO PAULO, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- At least two people were killed and 12 others injured Friday in an explosion at a metallurgical factory in the southeastern Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, Governor Tarcisio de Freitas said.
"Unfortunately, we had two confirmed deaths from the explosion in a metallurgical plant in Cabreuva (municipality) this morning. Twelve injured people were rescued and are being treated in medical centers in the state," Freitas said on the social media X, formerly known as Twitter.
