Fire breaks out at world's largest vaccine-making plant in India

A fire broke out in the world's largest vaccine-making plant in India Thursday afternoon, killing five. 

Local media made clear that vaccine production was not affected.

Indian TV footage showed a huge cloud of gray smoke over the site in Pune, where millions of doses of vaccines are currently being produced to combat COVID-19.

The cause of the fire was not immediately known.  

Last week, India announced the world's most ambitious vaccine rollout, expecting to vaccinate 300 million people by July.
