XUZHOU, China — An explosion outside a kindergarten in eastern China killed at least seven people
and injured nearly 70 on Thursday, leaving a chaotic scene as dozens, some clutching children, were thrown to the ground.
In a video posted on Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter, a man yelled, "Now they are carrying out dead bodies!" By Thursday evening, the
Feng County government in Xuzhou said 66 people had been hurt, including nine with serious injuries, in addition to the seven confirmed dead.
Images of dazed and injured people outside the Chuangxin kindergarten on the outskirts of
Xuzhou, a large city in the province of Jiangsu, circulated on Chinese social media.
"All I can do is wait here." Xuzhou is an industrial city
that lies at the intersection of China’s main rail lines leading south from Beijing with an important rail line from the east coast that runs to Central Asia.
