This is not the first incident at the Diehl Defense plant; in May, a fire broke out at the facility, reportedly due to careless handling of fire.

Diehl Metal Applications, which is part of the Diehl Defense industrial company, plays a crucial role in producing these defense systems.

The company has not yet commented on the explosion.
