(Reuters) -An explosion and fire at a gunpowder factory in Russia's central Tambov region killed five people on Tuesday, TASS news agency quoted the regional Investigative Committee as saying.
The report said a fifth person, a worker at the facility, had died in hospital. Earlier reports had put the toll at four dead and two injured.
News reports quoted the regional governor, Maxim (NASDAQ:MXIM) Yegorov, as ruling out any notion of an attack or sabotage.
