An explosion at an iron foundry in Uzbekistan's eastern region of Namangan has killed two workers and injured one. The Prosecutor-General's spokesman, Hayot Shamsutdinov, said on February 16 that the blast that occurred the previous day had been caused by an abrupt increase of pressure in a steam generator at the industrial facility. Shamsutdinov added that a probe was launched into "the violation of safety regulations that led to deaths." To read the original story by RFE/RL's Uzbek Service. click here.
