4 Dead, 12 Missing After Ship Explodes in Malaysia

At least four people died and 12 others were reported missing when a Singapore-registered tanker exploded Saturday night while unloading liquefied chemicals at a jetty 18 miles west of the capital, officials said.

Malaysia’s national news agency, Bernama, quoted officials at Port Kelang as saying an ensuing fire spread through pipelines to six tanks near the jetty holding oil and other materials, causing about 30 more explosions.
