“A sudden overflow of molten material in the blast furnace caused a fire and smoke, but there was no explosion at the furnace site or other parts of the plant,” Sadeqzadeh explained.
He said firefighters and emergency crew remained at the steel plant to prevent further incidents, adding more detailed information will be announced later.
