Explosion at an electronics component manufacturer in east China kills at least seven and injures five others
An explosion at an electronics component manufacturer in east China on Sunday killed seven and injured five others, local authorities said."The cause of the accident outside Kunshan Waffer Technology Corp. Ltd. is still under investigation," the statement said.
The incident comes barely a week after one of China's worst recent industrial accidents, in which an explosion at a chemical plant in the same province killed 78 people and injured hundreds. It prompted the State Council, China's cabinet, to order a nationwide inspection of chemical firms including risk assessments to identify safety hazards.In November, a gas leak at a plant in the northern Chinese city of Zhangjiakou, which will host the 2022 Winter Olympics, killed 24 people and injured 21 others.
