‎Eighteen people are missing after a blast at a military explosives manufacturing facility in Tennessee, US, on Friday.
‎
‎Initial reports indicated that 19 people were missing, but Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis later said one person initially believed to be on site had been located at home.
‎
‎The plant in Bucksnort, Tennessee -  56 miles (90km) south west of Nashville - specialises in the development, manufacture, handling and storage of explosives. The cause of the blast remains unclear.
‎
‎Aerial video from the scene showed charred debris, smouldering vehicles and little remaining of the facility, which is owned by Accurate Energetic Systems.
