A blast at a fireworks factory in China has killed at least 26 people and injured 61, flattening buildings and sending towering clouds of smoke into the sky, and prompting President Xi Jinping to order a thorough investigation.
The explosion happened at Huasheng Fireworks Manufacturing and Display Company on Monday.
More than 1,500 firefighters, rescuers, medical personnel and police were deployed, together with 18 drones and several robots, to search for survivors and control on-site hazards after the explosion in Liuyang, the city in central Hunan province known as China’s fireworks capital.
