NAJEEB To understand the sheer force of the Mundathikode fireworks explosion in Kerala’s Thrissur district on Tuesday (April 21, 2026), one only needs to walk through the neighbourhoods within a one-kilometre radius of the blast site. Not a single house has been left untouched. Windows lie shattered, doors ripped off hinges, and walls bear deep cracks. In many homes, even toilet fixtures have been dislodged by the impact. What was once a quiet residential stretch now stands as a landscape of debris and shock.
