Ministry of Interior reported an explosion ‌resulting from ‌a "technical ⁠accident" ‌occurred on Sunday ‌at a factory ⁠in Ras Laffan, an industrial city north of the capital Doha and site of the country's core LNG processing operations.

It said several injuries ‌were reported but ⁠no leak that "threatens safety".

The ministry did not give the exact location of the explosion, but a source with knowledge of the matter said ‌it occurred at ‌the ⁠Barzan gas plant ⁠in ⁠Ras Laffan and was due to an "operational error".
