A fire broke out in the Leuna Chemical Park in the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt on Monday morning.

The plant’s fire brigade is currently engaged, and external forces have not yet been requested, a spokesman for the operating company Infraleuna said.

Residents reported on social media that there had been a loud bang beforehand.

According to Infraleuna, the fire brigade’s operation is under way in the area of the company Linde in the chemical park.

Linde AG operates the company’s largest gas centre in Leuna, producing hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide and other specialty gases. (dpa/NAN)
