3 dead in NE China acid leak

THREE people have died after 2,000 cubic meters of sulphuric acid leaked from a storehouse in a village in northeast China's Liaoning Province, local authorities said today.

The exact number of casualties is still being verified after the accident happened at about 3 pm in Fangshen Village near Chaoyang City, said an official from the city's publicity bureau.

The official said the acid leaked from a family-run storehouse and has contaminated nearby areas, making it hard for rescuers to approach. Two villagers were found dead at the site and another perished in hospital.
