Two people have suffered minor injuries in a series of explosions at the Tata steelworks in Port Talbot.

The town was rocked by three blasts shortly after 3.30am, with residents reporting their houses were shaken by the huge bangs, and some saying they saw a fireball at the site.

In a statement issued at 4.51am, Tata said the fires had been brought under control, and that all employees had been accounted for. South Wales Police said it was believed there were just two minor injuries.

Tata confirmed shortly before 6am that the fires had been extinguished, and that a full investigation had been launched into the incident, which it said had started after a "spillage of liquid iron as it was travelling to the steel plant".

In the immediate aftermath of the blast, one local resident wrote on Twitter: "Huge explosions just shook Port Talbot. Seems to be from the works. Hope it's not as serious as it felt."
