A gas explosion at a restaurant in northwestern China killed 31 people on the eve of a long holiday weekend, causing anger in the Asian nation and President Xi Jinping to call for better safety supervision.
The tragedy occurred at a barbecue establishment in Yinchuan, capital of the Ningxia region, on Wednesday evening after liquefied petroleum gas leaked, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. Seven others were injured, including one person in critical condition.
China has experienced similar disasters in the past. After some 16 people were killed in a dining hall in the southwestern city of Chongqing last year, the government announced plans to renovate thousands of kilometers of aging gas pipelines.
