MADRID (Reuters) - A blast at the Port of Barcelona has killed a person and "affected" another, emergency services in the region of Catalonia said on Tuesday, adding the ensuing fire had been put out.

In a post on social messaging platform X, the emergency services said the explosion took place during maintenance work at the so-called Energy Dock, where chemical products are loaded.
