Los Angeles Times. Thursday, November 16, 2000.

HAVANA--Five Cuban workers were killed and 11 more were injured in an accident at a military factory on the island this week, Cuba's Armed Forces Ministry said on Thursday.

Three other workers remained missing after the accident on Tuesday at what the ministry called a "pyrotechnics" workshop at the Commander Ernesto Che Guevara Military Industry Enterprise in central Villa Clara province.

A ministry statement spoke only of an "unfortunate accident" and did not describe the incident that killed the four women and one man at the plant.

Cuba's armed forces were investigating the accident.
