At least one person was killed in a series of explosions in a high-rise building in north-eastern China on Friday, local officials said.
The blast happened this afternoon in the Wanda Plaza Apartment Building in Changchun, city authorities said in a statement posted on social media.
The first blast occurred in the car park in the basement at 3:13pm local time (7:13 GMT) and the second one took place on the 30th floor of the same building three minutes later.
Police are treating the incident as a criminal case while carrying out further investigation, according to an updated statement.
Eyewitnesses reported hearing over 20 explosions and people had been evacuated from buildings surrounding the Wanda Plaza Apartment, the state-run Beijing Youth Daily newspaper reported.
The explosion occurred on Hongqi Jie, the busiest part of the city.
City officials said in the statement that the person who was killed in the explosion had been trapped in the unit and was later found dead by rescuers.
