The explosion happened at Haven Midstream natural gas processing plant
near Highway K-96, about a mile north-northwest of Haven.

The explosion occurred after 1:30 p.m. Thursday; the noise was heard as far as 20 miles away, in the Bentley area northwest of Wichita.

Officials have established a two-mile perimeter around the area of the explosion.

Highway K-96 has been shut down east of Yoder.

Initially, two victims with potentially serious injuries have received medical treatment.

The Haven public school district says all students in Haven schools were being held indoors, but parents may pick up their children if they want to do so.
