A bunch of the local media are doing the reporting via "Live Updates" which I can't post in LBN.

@GovernorShapiro
My Administration is in touch with local officials in Clairton, PA as they respond to an explosion at US Steel Clairton Coke Works plant this morning.
@PEMAHQ
and @PAStatePolice
are in touch with first responders and have offered all assistance.
The scene is still active, and folks nearby should follow the direction of local authorities. Please join Lori and me in praying for the Clairton community.
