The government notice said that It was initially determined that a conveyor belt caught fire, trapping 16 people, but details of the extent of damage and how the fire started have not been released.
The report said that emergency personnel had brought the fire under control and the temperature had returned to normal, but following initial confirmation, 16 people had no signs of life.
