The explosion occurred on Monday afternoon in a bustling commercial centre in San Cristobal.

Dominican authorities announced they are pursuing a criminal case against a plastics company based on evidence found during an investigation into a powerful explosion that killed at least 31 people.

“The Public Ministry has evidence that compromises the criminal responsibility of those responsible who, with their actions, caused the death of dozens of people and caused millions in losses,” the statement said, citing prosecutor Fadulia Rosa Rubio. Victor Bisono, the minister of industry and commerce, told reporters that the municipality had closed the factory in the past, but he did not provide more details.
