An Egyptian girl was seriously injured when her mobile phone exploded in her pants pocket. The incident that took place in the city of Luxor in southern Egypt was most likely caused, according to investigations, by high temperatures that reached their highest levels, which led to the explosion of the mobile phone that the girl was in possession of, and led to her clothes catching fire. And she suffered burns.
Eyewitnesses said that the girl was walking in the street, with the phone inside her clothes, when she felt very hot and smoke coming out of her “pants pocket,” so she quickly took it out and was surprised when it exploded, thick smoke came out, and the phone and her clothes caught fire.
A number of passers-by succeeded in saving the girl, and they poured water on the phone in an attempt to control the rising smoke, noting that she suffered burns in her right hand while extracting the phone moments before the explosion.
