Tehran, April 27 -- The death toll from a large explosion at a port in Iran's southern Hormozgan province on Saturday has risen to 28, the official IRNA news agency reported on Sunday.
The cause of the incident remained undetermined, the report said.
IRNA stated that the number of individuals injured in the blast and subsequent fire had reached 800, with six people still missing.
Footage from closed-circuit cameras at the scene showed a limited fire starting near several containers in an area of the port at 12:05 p.m. local time (0835 GMT), which then expanded and caused the significant explosion approximately 90 seconds later, the semi-official Tasnim news agency quoted Hormozgan's Governor Mohammad Ashouri Taziani as saying on Sunday....
