ANKARA, May 15 (Reuters) - An explosion at a dairy products factory near the Turkish capital Ankara killed two people and injured five on Thursday, state-run news agency Anatolian said.

The blast occurred in a boiler at the factory.

"According to information obtained from security officals, two people have died and five were injured. One of the injured people's condition is serious," regional official Meftun Dalli told Anatolian.

Television images showed a collapsed corrugated metal roof and broken glass windows. An investigation into the cause of the blast at the factory had begun, said Dalli. (Reporting by Thomas Grove)
