as posted by the channel

A gas explosion at a restaurant in northwestern China killed 31 people on the eve of a long holiday weekend, causing anger in the Asian nation and President Xi Jinping to call for better safety supervision.

The tragedy occurred at a barbecue establishment in Yinchuan, capital of the Ningxia region, on Wednesday evening after liquefied petroleum gas leaked, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. Seven others were injured, including one person in critical condition.

Authorities have detained nine people linked to the disaster, including the restaurant’s manager, staff and owners, state broadcaster China Central Television reported, citing Communist Party officials in Ningxia.
