Written by An explosion at a fireworks plant in a central Chinese province has killed at least 26 people and injured 61, prompting the halting of all firework manufacturing near the site. The blast occurred in the city of Changsha, in Hunan province, on Monday afternoon, China’s official news agency Xinhua said. China Daily said the plant was operated by the Huasheng Fireworks Manufacturing and Display Co in the Changsha-administered, county-level city of Liuyang.
Changsha’s mayor, Chen Bozhang, said at a media briefing that a search and rescue operation had largely been completed and verification of the casualties and identification of the victims was under way. Chen said the local government expressed condolences for the victims and apologised to society, including the families and injured people. “We feel extremely pained and deeply remorseful,” he said.
