Blast at China fireworks factory kills 13: state media
AFP - 1 hour 47 minutes ago
BEIJING (AFP) - - Thirteen people were killed when a blast rocked an illegal fireworks factory in eastern China, state press reported Sunday.
The explosion occurred Saturday afternoon at an abandoned brick kiln that had been illegally transformed into a fireworks factory in Shandong province's Weifang city, Xinhua news agency said.
Local officials initially only reported three fatalities but 10 other bodies were found Sunday, it said.
No other details were immediately available.
China's huge fireworks industry is notorious for its lax safety standards, especially among smaller producers.
