An explosion at a hydroelectric plant in northern Italy has resulted in a tragic incident, claiming the lives of at least three workers and injuring five others. The explosion occurred at Enel's Bergi plant, located south of Bologna, during maintenance work. The blast caused part of the nine-story underground structure to collapse, triggering a fire and flooding at depths of up to 60 meters.
Search and rescue efforts are currently underway, with four individuals still missing. Due to the risk of further collapses, the operation is being conducted with caution. Divers have been deployed to assist in the search, which is expected to continue throughout the night.
