Preliminary reports indicate that two workers were charred to death inside the facility, while rescue teams rushed the injured to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment.

Firefighters and disaster response personnel launched an intensive operation to contain the flames and search for workers who may still be trapped inside the factory premises. Authorities fear the death toll could increase as rescue efforts continue.
