An explosion at a steel plate factory in China's northern region of Inner Mongolia killed two people and injured 84, Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Union said on Monday, adding that eight are missing.
The steelmaker said it was still assessing the extent of losses that threaten production at the plate mill and adjacent facilities after Sunday's explosion of a saturated water and steam tank at its Baotou city unit.
The injured were admitted to hospital, and the company is cooperating with authorities investigating the still unknown cause of the blast, it added.
Three of the injured were in critical condition, state broadcaster CCTV had said on Sunday.
Baotou Steel Union said ecological monitoring showed the incident had no impact on the surrounding atmosphere or soil, and generated no wastewater at the site.
