A massive blaze and explosion at a petrochemical plant has been caught on camera.
The fire broke out after an explosion at a factory on China's mid-east coast earlier today, according to reports.
More than 130 firefighters are working to control the fire in the city of Rizhao; some were bought in from neighbouring provinces.
Authorities have yet to confirm if anyone is hurt or missing.
Local media are reporting that four storage tanks at the factory exploded.
The factory is owned by Shitar Science & Technology Group, which owns the second largest oil field in China.
