Chemical Explosion In Spain Sends Toxic Cloud Over 2 Northeastern Towns

Spanish authorities have ordered the residents of two northeastern towns to stay indoors after a chemical explosion at a warehouse spread a large, orange toxic cloud over the area.

A spokeswoman for Catalonia’s regional firefighting department said the blast occurred Thursday when products being delivered to a warehouse in the city of Igualada became mixed, exploded and set a truck on fire. She said two people were slightly injured.
