BEIJING (AP) – The authorities in central China say seven people have been killed and 13 injured in an explosion at a fireworks factory in Hunan province.
The Liuyang city government says the blast occurred on Wednesday (Dec 4) morning due to ”illegal production”. Such accidents are common, especially in the run-up to the Lunar New Year, which this year falls on Jan 25.
The government says factory managers have been detained for questioning and a team formed to investigate the accident.
The authorities on Thursday ordered all fireworks production in the city suspended.
