Iran minister blames 'negligence' for port blast that killed 70 | ABS-CBN News

Drone video captured the vast extent of destruction at Iran's largest port of Bandar Abbas after an explosion on Saturday.

The death toll from the powerful explosion has risen to at least 70, with more than 1,000 people injured, state media reported on Sunday, as firefighters worked to fully extinguish the fire.

Saturday's blast took place in the Shahid Rajaee section of the port, Iran's biggest container hub, shattering windows for several kilometers around, tearing metal strips off shipping containers and badly damaging goods inside, state media said.

The incident occurred as Iran held a third round of nuclear talks with the United States in Oman.
