A massive explosion took place at a firecracker factory in Madhya Pradesh's Morena on Sunday, in which several houses were damaged, PTI reported.

While more details are awaited on this incident, there was another such blast reported in the district in 2022, when firecrackers kept in a godown exploded, demolishing the place it was stored in and killing four people, while injuring six others.

The current blast comes days ahead of Diwali.
