At least one person was killed and 36 others injured in a blast at a shipyard in New York City, officials said on Friday (local time).
Emergency crews rushed to the site following the explosion, while authorities launched an investigation into the cause of the incident.
“This was a complex, fast-developing emergency situation,” AP quoted New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani saying.
The area houses several commercial establishments, including a coffee roasting company and a self-storage facility. The shipyard was previously owned by the Bethlehem Steel Company, which built vessels for the US Navy during World War II.
