At least seven people are dead and 59 injured in China blast

At least seven people are dead and dozens injured after an explosion at a kindergarten in China.

Police said the blast struck at 4.50 pm local time on Thursday at the Chuangxin Kindergarten in the city of Fengxian in Jiangsu province.

A mobile phone camera video posted on the website of the official People’s Daily newspaper showed more than a dozen people lying motionless in front of the kindergarten’s steel sliding gate, with clothing, shoes and other items strewn on the ground beside pools of blood.

It showed ambulances arriving and medics wheeling people into an emergency room.

It wasn’t clear whether the blast was an accident or had been deliberately set. The newspaper Xiandaikuaibao on its website cited an unidentified witness as saying the explosive appeared to have been a bottle of cooking gas.
