Blast kills one person at Barcelona port

ECONOMY 21.01.2025

One person died and another was seriously injured in a blast on Tuesday at the port of Barcelona in northeastern Spain, one of Europe's busiest, authorities said.

Text size:

Firefighters extinguished a blaze caused by the explosion which took place during maintenance work in a spot where methyl acetate -- used as a solvent in glues, paints and nail polish removers -- is stored, local emergency services wrote on X.

Several other people were treated for light injuries at the scene, they added.

In September two workers died and at least four others were injured after two cranes collapsed in the northern Spanish port of Gijon.
