Huge explosions rocks industrial complex in Argentina
Explosions struck the Spegazzini Industrial Park, Ezeiza, Buenos Aires province on November 14, 2025, causing a large blaze and visible shockwaves as thick smoke poured from factories.
Officials said the cause is unknown, and residents of Ezeiza and Cañuelas reported seeing an object fall from the sky moments before the blast.
Explosions tore through facilities, destroying gates, ceilings, fire pipes, and hitting five factories, including the plastics plant Plasticos Lago and a chemical plant with burning warehouses.
At least 22 people were taken to hospital after powerful explosions, and smoke disrupted flights at Ministro Pistarini International Airport, while regional hospitals coordinated to receive the injured.
Gaston Granados, mayor of Ezeiza, said 'We are trying to control and extinguish it but have not been able to so far', as 15 fire crews battled a long-lasting blaze.
The fire triggered by a heavy explosion in an industrial park south of Buenos Aires is contained and most of the more than 20 minor injuries that left the incident were discharged, local authorities reported on Saturday.
The explosion caused minor injuries to more than 20 people who were already discharged from the health centres attending the emergency, authorities told local media.
