Witnesses stated that approximately a dozen workers were taking baths near the taps when the tank suddenly gave way, crashing down into the facility and causing multiple casualties.

Eyewitnesses provided rescuers with information on where workers were last seen, guiding efforts to locate individuals buried under the rubble.
