Sad, I hope there weren't any serious injuries or deaths. Though that's pretty unlikely.
Footage looks like it happened at night, so maybe workers weren't present? (unless they work 2 or 3 shifts)

In talks with Shona from Red Lantern it was not in Liuyang, it was another city about 6 hours from there. It was a factory that exclusively made firecrackers. The photos show it absolutely leveled.

Experts at the scene said that high temperatures caused the nitrocotton to release and accumulate heat, which then led to self-ignition. This lit charcoal and firing leads stored nearby, triggering the explosion, the publicity department of the Guanghan government said Thursday, Chengdu Economic Daily reported.

Six people were injured in the accident, with four being badly injured. The fire was put out at 4:20 am on Thursday.
