A blast triggered by unknown causes leveled an apartment building at early
hours Sunday in south China, killing nine people and injuring four, Xinhua
reported on Sunday.
The explosion occurred at about 2:00am Sunday in a
three-story building in Leye county, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Seven were killed in the blast, and two more were pronounced dead after
emergency treatment failed.
The four injured were being treated in
a local hospital, it said.
The cause of the blast was under
investigation. But a Nanfang Daily report said local suspected the
blast might be caused due to a love affair
dispute.
Police identified the owner of this apartment as Wang
Rong. He leased the rooms to nine tenants. Wang was not in the building when the
blast occurred.
