A chlorine gas leak at a water treatment plant in Nagpur triggered panic after gas reportedly spread towards nearby residential areas. Around 40 people were hospitalised after reporting coughing and breathing difficulties. The leak reportedly originated from a 900-kg chlorine cylinder at the Godhani water treatment plant. Police evacuated residents within a 200-metre radius, while fire teams, NDRF personnel and water utility staff launched an emergency operation. The leak was brought under control around 5:30 am, with the cylinder placed in a tank containing water and caustic soda as a precaution.

A devastating fire ripped through the Na Ladprao pub in Bangkok, Thailand, killing at least 27 people and leaving dozens injured, including 22 in critical condition. According to Thai officials, musicians noticed smoke rising from a stage circuit breaker before a blackout and a reported explosion. The flames spread rapidly through the venue as decorative ceiling materials caught fire, while dense toxic smoke trapped patrons inside. Authorities say many victims were found near the restrooms, and most fatalities were caused by smoke inhalation rather than burns.
