A tragedy occurred in Jiangsu province, eastern China, where a powerful explosion in a fireworks store resulted in the death of eight people and injured two others. The incident took place on February 15, before the Lunar New Year, a period of intense use of pyrotechnics. The explosion, caused by 'improper use' of fireworks, generated a violent fire that lasted nearly an hour and a half, with emergency teams working to extinguish the flames. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the circumstances and responsibilities, and those involved have been detained. The Ministry of Emergency Situations issued a national alert, calling for rigorous inspections in fireworks factories, considering the risks associated with improper handling during the holiday season.
