THREE Chinese workers were among those killed and dozens of others were injured in the explosions in Brazzaville, according to Chinese officials.
Duan Jinzhu, political counsellor at the Chinese Embassy, confirmed the deaths, saying more information was being sought on the casualties.
There were about 140 Chinese workers of the Beijing Construction Engineering Group at the construction site when the blasts went off, the Chinese company said.
Huang Shanyan, head of the company, said they had been unable to contact Gao Jinhui, another official with the group who was at the construction site. The company had evacuated 50 to 60 people from the site.
The dormitory building of China's Huawei company was badly damaged, without casualties reported, Chinese officials said.
More than 10 of the injured were receiving treatment at the city's Universal Hospital Center.
A Chinese commercial official said there were more than 10 others with serious injuries taken to a military hospital.
The Chinese Embassy has sent officials to see the injured at hospital, while a Chinese medical team is taking part in the rescue work.
