A devastating explosion at a fireworks factory near Changde city in Hunan province on Monday morning killed 9 people and injured 26. Rescue operations are being carried out under difficult conditions, with the risk of further explosions and difficulties due to the accessibility of the mountainous area where the factory is located. The ministry for emergency management has sent a team to investigate the causes of the incident and identify those responsible. Industrial explosions are common in China due to inadequate safety standards.
