At the moment, the security forces have not reported the causes of the explosion. However, people suspect a car carrying the highly flammable compound ethane for use by a separate nearby chemical factory exploded as it was passing the Shenghua plant.
The fire spread to other cars but not to the Shenghua enterprise itself, which continued to operate as usual.
