Electrical substation explodes like bomb in Saigon

No injuries have been reported.

Explosions from an electrical substation during a heavy rain in Ho Chi Minh
City on Tuesday afternoon have triggered rising smoke and fire, causing
widespread power outage and terrifying nearby locals.

There were three explosions from the substation with the last one resembling
a bomb blast, some witnesses said.

Thousands of households, offices and schools in districts 1, 3, 10 and Tan
Binh have been left without electricity for a few hours after the explosion
from the substation in Le Thi Rieng Park in District 10.

It is expected that power will be restored before midnight on Tuesday,
according to a representative from Phu Tho Power Company, which manages the
substation.

Firemen were quickly deployed to handle the incident.

Investigations for the cause of the explosions are under way.
