A blast occurred at the Mesko arms factory in the southeastern Polish city of Skarzysko-Kamienna on Monday, resulting in a fire and the death of a 59-year-old worker.
An explosion at an armaments factory in Poland killed one and injured several more.
Local media report that the explosion started a fire and killed a 59-year-old worker at the weapon factory in the Polish city of Skarzysko-Kamienna on Monday.
Another employee was hospitalised after inhaling smoke – though his condition is not life threatening, local authorities said.
“We had an explosion at the rocket fuel centre, which was put into operation a few years ago,” said the plant’s chairwoman Elzbieta Sreniawska.
The cause for the incident is currently under investigation.
The factory – owned by the state-run Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa – manufactures defence products, anti-tank missiles and small arms ammunition.
Poland has provided extensive military support for Ukraine, leading to a significant increase in production for many local arms factories.
