Nineteen people were missing and an unspecified number were killed after a massive blast tore through a US military explosives plant on Friday, prompting emergency responders to scour the ravaged site for any survivors, officials said.

Aerial footage broadcast by US media showed smoldering debris at the factory in Hickman County, Tennessee, with charred and mangled vehicles strewn across the facility.

“At this time we have been able to confirm that we do have 19 souls that we’re looking for,” Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis told reporters.

“There are fatalities. I don’t want to put a number to that... I can tell you right now we are looking for 19 individuals.”

The explosion occurred at a plant run by Accurate Energetic Systems in Hickman County’s Bucksnort area, prompting official warnings for the public to avoid the area amid fears of secondary explosions.
