I am tempted to say that they should have seen it coming, but I won’t give in to temptation.
Probably not a deliberate act, but it’s possible.

Optics plants can have some pretty big furnaces and annealing lehrs.
Molten glass is an electrical conductor, and can be kept molten by passing electric current through it.

I don’t know how this can be called an accident. An optical plant wouldn’t have explosive materials at all, or certainly not in such amounts.
It seems like a car or truck bomb.

Optics plants can have some pretty big furnaces and annealing lehrs. That is true. But they usually don't have lots of artillery shells laying around that get launched out into the neighborhood when the building explodes.
The factory had lots of explosives, and the "story" now in Russian media is that they just made fireworks for display purposes. That still doesn't explain the shells. Or the scale of the secondary explosion.
