A tragic incident occurred in northwestern China where a huge cooking gas explosion claimed the lives of 31 people and left seven injured. The devastating blast happened at a popular barbecue restaurant in Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, during the evening hours of Wednesday, just before the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. The festival, which is celebrated nationwide, is known for its rice dumplings and boat races. This incident prompted Chinese President Xi Jinping to order immediate and thorough treatment for the injured, as well as a comprehensive safety inspection. (Source: Xinhua News Agency)
Witnesses reported their harrowing experiences during the explosion. A witness named Chen, who was nearly 50 meters away from the restaurant, described hearing the explosion and witnessing two waiters come out of the establishment. One of the waiters immediately collapsed, and thick smoke filled the air with a strong smell of cooking gas. The Ministry of Emergency Management confirmed that search and rescue efforts were completed early Thursday morning, and investigators were dispatched to determine the exact cause of the blast.
