An explosion at the Suphan Buri province fireworks factory kills at least 18.

An explosion at a fireworks factory in central Thailand's Suphan Buri province has resulted in at least 20 deaths. The cause of the blast remains unknown. The factory had previously experienced another explosion last year, which killed ten workers and injured more than a hundred others. The incident comes less than a month before the Chinese New Year, a time when demand for fireworks is high. This marks the latest in a series of fatal fireworks accidents in Thailand, highlighting the need for improved safety standards at such facilities.
