At least nine people have been killed and more than 115 injured after a blast at a fireworks warehouse in a market in southern Thailand on Saturday.
The blast in Sungai Kolok, on the Malaysian border, at around 15:00 local time is thought to have been caused by construction work, SIA reports with reference to foreign media.
The market fire is now under control, the local governor told AFP.
A preliminary investigation indicates a "technical error" during steel welding was responsible, Sanon Pongaksorn said.
Footage published in local media showed a large smoke plume rising from the market, with many shops, homes and vehicles badly damaged by the force of the explosion - including several on fire or with their rooves ripped off.
