(Reuters) -Multiple explosions on Monday at a U.S. Steel plant near Pittsburgh killed two people and injured 10 others, according to the company and local authorities.

The blasts at the Clairton Coke Works - part of a sprawling industrial complex along the Monongahela River - took place just before 11 a.m. ET (1500 GMT). Firefighters battled flames and heavy smoke that billowed out of the plant, which is owned by U.S. Steel, a subsidiary of Nippon Steel.
