TEHRAN, Jul. 14 (MNA) – A lithium battery factory in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, caught fire early Monday, injuring 15 people— including three firefighters.

The city's mayor has ordered operations at the Molie Quantum Energy plant suspended. Though the fire occurred near Kaohsiung Airport, flight services remain unaffected.
