POLICE are seeking the owner of a fireworks factory, where an explosion on Wednesday had killed nine workers and injured 21 others in Henan Province by yesterday.
Police in Luohe City said they were seeking Tian Baoshan from Laogongtian Village, the factory's location.
From the outside, a corner of the factory wall at the Yutian Fireworks Plant could be seen to have collapsed after the blast about 4:50pm.
The injured were taken to a public hospital in Luohe City.
Villagers said minor blasts occurred in the workshop throughout the night.
The private plant had production licenses and was surrounded by cornfields, and away from village homes.
Fireworks are a major product of the Liji township, which administers the village. The township has seen three fireworks factory explosions in the last 10 years, but the latest blast was the deadliest.
The Chinese lunar New Year, which falls on February 3, usually brings a seasonal boom in firework sales.
