Summary

On October 19, 2026, a chlorine gas leak occurred at Nguyen Huu Doan's scrap business in Hanoi, resulting in 40 people being injured. Residents reported hearing a loud explosion and observing yellow gas rising from the site, which subsequently destroyed the plants and trees around the area. Reports indicate the incident began when a chemical cylinder ruptured, releasing the gas and causing respiratory distress, eye irritation, and nausea among those nearby. Victims were transported to Thuong Tin General Hospital, with several individuals requiring intensive care and mechanical ventilation for severe respiratory burns. Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the release.
