A poisonous gas leak in Jordan’s southern port city of Aqaba on Monday killed at least 10 people and injured 251, state-run Al-Mamlaka TV reported.
The Public Security Directorate said a gas tank sprung a leak while being transported. It did not identify the contents of the tanker.
The directorate said authorities sealed off the area after evacuating the injured to hospitals and sent specialists in to deal with the leak.
Al-Mamlaka TV said 199 were still being treated in hospitals.
Dr Jamal Obeidat, a local health official, urged people to stay inside and close windows and doors. The nearest residential area is 25km away.
Video carried by state-run media outlets showed a crane hoisting a large tanker from a truck and then dropping it on the deck of a ship, causing an explosion of yellow smoke and sending dock workers racing away.
