Authorites have located the final missing worker and are in the process of trying to recover her remains, bringing to a tragic conclusion the rescue operations at the Violanta biscuit factory in Trikala, central Greece.

The powerful explosion and the fire that followed struck the factory earlier in the day, killing five female employees who had been working the night shift. According to information released by authorities, all five victims were found in the building’s basement, where the fire initially broke out.

The blast completely destroyed the area where the women had been working, near the production ovens. The force of the explosion leveled the basement walls, caused the roof to collapse and led to the floor giving way, creating a large void in what had been a key section of the production line.

All five women had reportedly chosen to work overnight shifts so they could care for their children during the day, adding to the shock and grief felt by the local community.

The bodies of the victims have been transferred to the General Hospital of Larissa for autopsies. Relatives have been asked to provide DNA samples to assist with the formal identification process.

In a statement, Greece’s 5th Regional Health Authority said that six people were injured in the incident, including one firefighter. All were hospitalized as a precaution and have since been discharged.

Psychologists have been deployed both at the site of the explosion and at the General Hospital of Trikala to provide support to the victims’ families.

The explosion at the Violanta factory, a well-known biscuit producer in Greece, caused extensive damage to the facility and has left the city of Trikala in mourning as authorities continue to assess the aftermath of one of the deadliest industrial accidents in recent years.
