Seventeen people were injured at a U.S. Steel plant near Pittsburgh when an oven exploded Wednesday, emergency officials said.

According to Allegheny County spokesman Kevin Evanto said the powerful blast in the coke oven at United States STeel Corp.’s Clairton Coke Works happened shortly after 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. Most of the workers suffered burns, Evanto said.
