There was an accident in Qatar on Sunday. A big explosion happened at the Ras Laffan plant. This is a large gas complex. It is the biggest plant for gas in the country. 54 people are hurt. 18 people are still missing. Rescuers look for them now.
The government says: It was a technical error. No one attacked the plant. No dangerous things came out. The fire brigade put out the fire fast. Ras Laffan is important for the world. They make a lot of liquid gas there.
There were attacks on the plant in the past. This happened during a war. The war was between the USA, Israel and Iran. The plant had a lot of damage. Qatar sends gas from there to many countries. For example to Italy, Belgium and China.
