Dozens of students at a school in southern Iraq's Maysan province suffered breathing difficulties on Tuesday after an explosion at a dairy plant caused a chlorine gas leak, a Shafaq News correspondent reported.

The school and factory are located in the Al-Qahira neighborhood of central Al-Amarah, the provincial capital. Dozens of medical personnel went to the scene to assist the affected students and arrange their transport for treatment.
