(ECNS) -- A gas leak was reported Friday morning at the same site of the fatal gas explosions that occurred last Thursday in Taiwan's Kaohsiung City.

Local media said staff at the site had put on masks and cordoned off the area due to an odd smell, and that reporters had also been asked to evacuate.

An inspection showed that there were at least four types of gas leaking, including propene, ethene, propane and ethane. What's more, the mixed gas had a low flash point, with the intensity getting higher.

An investigation is underway.

The underground gas explosions that hit the area at about midnight on Thursdad left 30 people dead and 310 injured.
