An ammonia gas leak at an industrial complex in Jordan caused eleven injuries and prompted port evacuations. Officials confirmed the leak was contained following maintenance work.
Eleven people sustained injuries ranging from minor to moderate in an ammonia gas leak during Monday morning maintenance work in Jordan's southern port city of Aqaba.
Authorities evacuated the southern port as a precaution after the leak occurred at an industrial complex away from residential areas. The incident involved an old pump or pressure equipment being serviced for a Japan-based company.
