An explosion at a defense weapons plant in Arkansas has caused injuries to at least two people and one individual is currently missing, as reported by the Associated Press. The incident took place at the General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems company in Camden, Arkansas. Two individuals have been hospitalized, although the severity of their injuries is unknown.
The company initially described it as a “fireworks-related incident” but later confirmed it to be an explosion. They are working closely with authorities and stated that one person is missing. The extent of injuries has not been disclosed.
The state emergency management is monitoring the situation, and General Dynamics, a global aerospace and defense company, is cooperating with the investigation. The Camden plant is a significant facility supporting military programs such as Hellfire and Javelin missiles. Our thoughts are with those affected by this unfortunate incident.
