The Israel-Iran war is intensifying, with Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis launching their first missile attack on Israel, signalling a widening regional conflict. Israel continues deep strikes on Iranian military sites, while Iran retaliates with missiles and drones across the region. Diplomatic efforts are ongoing, but no ceasefire has been reached and escalation risks remain high.
In the above context, a video is being widely shared on social media in which a gas plant is seen engulfed in a massive fire.
The video is shared with a caption suggesting that it shows Iran’s attack on a gas plant in Qatar in March 2026.
A text on it reads, “Iran’s attack on Qatar’s gas plant; this is where 47% of India’s gas comes from.”
SouthCheck found that the claim is false. The viral video is from 2025 and from South Korea where a massive fire tore through an E-Land logistics centre in Cheonan.
On a Google reverse image search, we found that the same video was shared by a Facebook page, CNA, on November 15, 2025.
The video is shared with a caption that reads, “A massive blaze destroyed one of South Korea’s largest fashion logistics centres in Cheonan, South Chungcheong province, on Saturday (Nov 15), burning millions of garments. No casualties were reported as the fire broke out hours before workers arrived.
Local media reports said it took more than nine hours to bring the main fire under control, with hotspots still burning for hours. About 430 firefighters, 150 vehicles and 11 helicopters were deployed in the firefighting operations.”
The video was also shared by a YouTube channel, The Straits Times, on November 17, 2025.
The video was shared with a caption suggesting that it shows a fire breaking out in a South Korean fashion logistics centre. In the incident, millions of garments were destroyed in the blaze. The incident happened at the E-Land facility in Cheonan, South Chungcheong province.
Using this information, we searched with relevant keywords and found that the incident was also reported by The Korea Herald on November 16, 2025.
According to the report, a massive fire tore through an E-Land logistics centre in Cheonan, South Korea, early in the morning, rapidly spreading through millions of clothing items stored inside. Over 430 firefighters battled the blaze for hours, facing intense heat and structural collapse. The warehouse suffered severe damage, with parts collapsing, while the cause remains under investigation.
Hence, we can ascertain that the viral claim is false.
