A GAS explosion in an underground shopping street left more than 20 workers injured in northeast China's Liaoning Province yesterday.
The explosion at about 9am was triggered by a gas leak from underground pipelines at a construction site in the underground shopping street in front of a shopping mall in the provincial capital Shenyang, city officials said.
Some 40 workers were present at the scene at the time the explosion occurred.
More than 20 workers, including some seriously injured, have been admitted to two hospitals for emergency treatment, injured workers and their relatives said.
Staff of the shopping mall said they heard "three huge bangs," felt "strong ground shaking" and saw many workers run out of the tunnel with blood stains on their clothes.
