An explosion happened in a village in China’s central Henan province early on Saturday, killing at least 13 people and injuring five others, the official Xinhua news agency said.
The blast, in Donggancheng village, happened just after 1 a.m., Xinhua said, citing officials with the local work safety office.
Initial investigations showed that explosives intended for civilian use had gone off, Xinhua said. In 2006, the same village was hit by a deadly explosion at a workshop that was illegally making detonators, which are often used in the country’s coal mines. Four died in that accident.
