PRAGUE, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) -- One of the employees severely burnt in the Friday blast in the state-owned Explosia plant in Czech Republic has died in hospital, according to local media reports on Sunday.

Four workers were seriously injured in the blast in Explosia, a company known as the producer of the Semtex plastic explosive, on Friday morning. The other three were still in hospitals, under critical conditions.

Four investigating commissions have been set up to find out the causes of the blast.
