Loud Explosion Rocks Beijing's Dongzhimen Area

管理员

A loud explosion ripped through an area close to Beijing's Dongzhimen subway station at around 15:10 on Thursday afternoon. According to eye witness reports, the explosion took place close to a newspaper stand located right below the Sky Plaza building on the south side of Dongzhimen Wai Dajie. The police and fire department have since cordoned off a small area surrounding the newspaper stand and the cause of the loud explosion is being investigated. Witnesses reported seeing a cloud of white smoke after the loud noise, but no fire, scraps of material or other signs of an explosion were visible. The transparent plastic backing of the newspaper stand was reported to have a large hole.
