The United Kingdom’s lone munitions filing factory exploded on Wednesday, just two days after a fire erupted at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported on April 15th, the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant (SCAAP), the United States’ primary producer of 155mm artillery shell bodies, caught fire.
Just two days later, on April 17th, a section of the United Kingdom’s lone munition factory exploded after a single shell went off inside the factory.
The explosion occurred at the BAE Systems munitions factory in Glascoed, Wales.
BAE Systems is the biggest defense contractor in Europe and the 7th largest in the world.
The cause of the explosion at the munition factory is currently being investigated.

Per The Daily Mail:
Locals living close to a BAE Systems weapons plant rocked by an explosion earlier today say the blast ‘felt like an earthquake’ as a shell went off.
The blast took place at the BAE Systems munitions factory in Glascoed, Monmouthshire shortly before 10.50am.
MailOnline understands the explosion relates to a single shell going off at the munitions filling factory, run by BAE, Europe’s biggest military contractor.
Emergency services were deployed to the site, which is spread across a large field close to the south-eastern village; locals say the blast ‘wasn’t loud, but felt like an earthquake’.
BAE Systems has promised a full investigation into the incident at the factory, which is the UK’s last remaining munitions filling factory.
The fire erupted at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant is also under investigation.
Post of the day!!!
Old factories running 24 hours a day and producing 150% of designed rate? I am sure they removed all the safety guards and are pushing workers like slaves.
Don’t you think accidents will happen in a situation like that?
I wonder how many DIE “Asian” hires are in that British plant.
ping
First they came from our food processing plants…
When it comes to aspirations of world domination there are no coincidences. Liberalism trumps all.
SHARK WEEK!!!!!
Headline:
“U.K.’s Only Munitions Factory Explodes, Just Days After U.S. Army Ammunition Factory Catches Fires in Scranton, PA”
Possibly LINKED????
UK:
“ an incident occurred at the premises of BAE Systems Glascoed when an explosion occurred within a building.”
In other words a NOTHINGBURGER!
Scranton:
“Fire crews responded to the heat treat building at the facility in downtown Scranton around 3:20 p.m.
Firefighters quickly knocked down the flames shortly after arriving.
Officials say no one was injured, and all personnel have been accounted for.”
In other words a NOTHINGBURGER!
“”U.K.’s Only Munitions Factory Explodes” headline makes it seem that the whole munitions plant (the only one of its kind ya know) was DESTROYED!
The headline would also lead you to believe that the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant burned to the ground! Yet again, within “A” building.”
FAKE NEWS! Don’t believe a thing they say.

Thanks for finding that info and posting it.
From one of my all time favorites Diamonds Are Forever. Blofeld was showing contempt for the world’s leaders.
When his space platform was shooting earth targets with a powerful laser ....
Looking at tracking information.
Blofeld: The satellite is now over... Kansas. Well, if we destroy Kansas the world may not hear about it for years.
Do you think it might have been Russian sabotage? That or Hamas egged on by Iran (and Russia)?
Hello. Was your question for me, or was it intended for someone else? Based on post 10 above, I’m inclined to believe the explosion wasn’t suspicious. I worked in a factory for a while. One night, smoke and flames started shooting out of my machine. It had to be shut down and repaired. And we didn’t make munitions. Sometimes, these things just happen.
