A fire at a chemical factory in southern India killed at least six people and injured 13, a government official said on Thursday, with more casualties feared in the second such accident this week.
Pictures of the scene provided by government officials showed Wednesday's massive blaze, with at least two bodies lying on the floor of the factory in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
"There is a possibility of casualties increasing," V. Prasanna Venkatesh, administrative chief of the surrounding district of Eluru, told Reuters.
