Explosion in China’s Guangxi region kills seven, injures 17

An explosion killed seven people early on Thursday in China’s southwestern region of Guangxi, local authorities said in a notice, adding that they were investigating its cause, but ruling out a risk from gas pipelines.

Seventeen people were taken to the hospital, but none were in critical condition, they said, after the 1:40 a.m. blast in the town of Xingan, nestled in a mountainous area rich in mineral and agricultural resources.

This is a developing story.
