Hanwha Aerospace explosion likely occurred while cleaning explosive waste: police

A deadly explosion at a Hanwha Aerospace facility in Daejeon, South Korea, occurred last month, killing five workers and injuring two. Police stated that the incident likely took place while a worker was cleaning a washing machine that may have contained explosive waste residue. The worker described the blast originating from the machine, and investigators found tools used for cleaning at the scene. They have collected 17 items, including cleaning tools, and requested a forensic analysis. While the explosion is tentatively linked to the cleaning process, authorities note it remains a possibility and are exploring other causes like electrical issues or physical impacts. Two executives from Hanwha Aerospace have been formally charged for their alleged roles in the incident.
