Konica Minolta announced that around 5:15pm, 12 August, there was an explosion at the Tatsuno Factory of Konica Minolta Supplies Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a Konica Minolta Group company. The factory is located in Tatsuno, Nagano Prefecture.

The notice said: “We would like to give our sincerest apologies again to residents in neighbouring communities, relevant authorities and all those for the trouble. Below is the status as of 8pm, August 12. We will keep posting updates.”

Describing the events, the company said that there was sound of explosion around 5:15pm. Employees of the factory confirmed it was an explosion in the production line and immediately called the local fire department and police department, among others. At 6:36pm the fire department completed their on-site activities with confirmation.
