Multiple explosions rock tranquil Kota Kinabalu neighbourhood


KOTA KINABALU: Residents of Taman Cerah Menggatal, some 20kms from the state capital here were rocked by multiple explosions from a workshop and parking area for oil tankers and lorries late Tuesday.

The explosions were sparked off after lightning struck an oil tanker during a thunderstorm here, resulting in a massive fire which destroyed at least 15 tankers and lorries parked there.
