One person is still unaccounted for after an explosion and fire at an industrial estate in South Wales.

The fire broke out on the Treforest Industrial Estate at around 7pm last night, and since then at least one building has been completely destroyed and police declared a major incident.

Three people were treated at the scene by ambulance crews before being discharged, but while there have been no reports of serious injuries, there is still one person unaccounted for following the blast.

People are being asked to avoid the area as a number of roads have been closed.

Jonny Foxhall, 36, the owner of nearby music venue Green Rooms, said: ‘Our front door was flung open so we went out to see what had happened.

We could see a smoke cloud and an orange glow from above the treeline quickly followed by flames.

‘To feel the shockwave from the explosion is something I’ve never experienced before.’
