Fatal explosions have occurred at suspected illegal firecracker manufacturing sites in different regions. 

In Siwan, Bihar, a massive explosion at a trader’s residence and manufacturing unit in Alampur village killed at least five people. The incident involved a chain of explosions lasting approximately two hours, causing part of a building to collapse. Authorities suspended a local police officer and a chowkidar for alleged negligence while forensic experts investigate the legality of the manufacturing operations.

In Malasiqui, Pangasinan, an explosion at a suspected illegal workshop killed five people, including a seven year old child. Local officials noted that the site, a former piggery, lacked municipal permits for firecracker production. The victims were reportedly members of a single family renting the space.
