Toxic gas leaked from a vessel at a shipbreaking yard in Bangladesh on Friday, killing at least eight workers, with five others missing, police said.
Witnesses said they heard screams from inside the yard in the southeastern port city of Chittagong before workers rushed some of the victims to hospital.
Senior police official Abdul Kuddus Chowdhury said eight people had died and authorities were searching for the missing workers.
"A committee has been formed to investigate the incident, and the authorities have ordered an audit of the shipbreaking yard," Chowdhury told AFP.
