TWO workers were killed yesterday in an explosion at a steel plant in Cardiff in which four more were injured.

The unnamed workers were initially pronounced missing after a “deafening” blast at Celsa UK’s site near the city centre at 10.30am.

Their family, friends and colleagues’ worst fears were confirmed later by the police who found their bodies at the site.
