Pakistan power plant blast
If the social media claims are to be believed, the horrifying explosion happened in the Guddu Power Plant, situated in Pakistan's Sindh province.
A search for the mishap at Guddu Power Plant took us to multiple media reports from Pakistan. Geo News, The Express Tribune, and Pakistan Today said that a fire had broken out at the Guddu Power Plant in the Sindh province on July 13, during the Eid-Ul-Ahza celebrations.
Reports suggest that the power plant was burnt to the ground, causing a loss worth Rs 15 billion to the national exchequer. It quoted sources revealing that there were no extinguishers available to deal with the flames. A four-member team, led by a chief engineer, was formed to investigate the mishap.
However, there was no mention of an explosion in any of these reports, making it clear that the viral video is unrelated to this incident. Thus, it is safe to conclude that the explosion video from Afghanistan has been shared with false claims.
