One person was killed and another seriously injured when a blaze at a firework factory in Bulgaria set off a series of dramatic explosions on Thursday, local officials and medical staff said. The blasts began at about in the town of Elin Pelin near the capital, Sofia, sending mushroom clouds into the evening sky, some flecked with the reds and whites of exploding fireworks. “In the first moment I felt as if someone had closed the door with great fury. It rattled the windows. The power went off immediately,” one resident told Nova TV. “I looked up and through the window I saw a beige mushroom cloud that began to spread to the east.“ The interior minister, Kalin Stoyanov, said on Thursday evening that a 49-year-old man died of injuries sustained in the fire and his 20-year-old daughter was in critical condition in hospital. Two men, a 22-year-old son of the warehouse owner and a 60-year-old employee, were believed to have been in the warehouse and remained unaccounted for, he said.
