A boiler at a glue-making factory in eastern Pakistan exploded on Friday, killing at least 15 workers and injuring seven others. Police said they arrested the factory manager and were looking for the factory owner who fled shortly after the blast.

The cause of the explosion at the industrial facility in Faisalabad, a city in Punjab province, was not immediately known.

Poor safety standards are a frequent cause of industrial accidents and factory fires in Pakistan. In 2024, a dozen workers were injured in a similar boiler explosion at a textile mill in Faisalabad. Also last week, a blast at a firecrackers factory in Pakistan's port city of Karachi killed four people.
