Ninh Phương |

Hue - simulated fireworks display activities in Ky Dai on Saturday evenings were suspended every week after the incident on May 3.

The Hue Monuments Conservation Center is reviewing the script, technical equipment and related factors to ensure safety before organizing a resumption.

The new fireworks display schedule will be announced after completing the preparation work.

Previously, the fireworks display was held at 7:15 p.m. every Saturday night to create a highlight to attract people and tourists.

Ky Dai was equipped with 8 firecrackers, each firing khau is maximum of 9 shots, with a total of 72 shots within 40 seconds, using a new firecracker system to replace the old oil spraying.

However, fireworks displays on April 26 and March 3 occurred. According to the organizers, the cause was due to technical errors in the firing equipment, which prevented the fireworks from burning out when fired.
