China (June 22,2023) : A massive explosion ripped through a barbeque restaurant in the city of Shijiazhuang, China, on Tuesday, killing at least 31 people and injuring dozens more. The explosion occurred at around 11:00 p.m. local time in the city's Xiangyang district. The restaurant was located in a residential building, and the blast caused extensive damage to the surrounding area. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, but authorities believe that it may have been caused by a gas leak.
The explosion is the latest in a series of deadly fires and explosions in China in recent months. In March, a fire at a poultry processing plant in the city of Jilin killed 13 people. And in April, an explosion at a chemical plant in the city of Yancheng killed 78 people. The Chinese government has been under pressure to improve safety standards in the country's factories and businesses. However, the latest explosion shows that there is still much work to be done.
