Jan 31 (Reuters) - An explosion occurred at Iran's southern port of Bandar Abbas on Saturday, Iranian media reported, without giving a cause for the blast. The semi-official Tasnim news agency said that social media reports alleging that a Revolutionary Guard navy commander was targeted in the explosion were "completely false".

Residents reported hearing an explosion near a busy Midtown intersection Monday night, prompting a response from Atlanta Fire Rescue crews who later found and extinguished a small underground fire that knocked out power to thousands of customers.

Investigators say a chemical explosion at the Langeloth Metallurgical plant happened during a routine transfer of chemicals inside the facility.

The explosion occurred while first responders were at the scene at the Bronx building on Saturday, Jan. 24

Utilities in the building have been shut down, and 148 units are vacated, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a briefing.
