Large Medium SmallCHENGDU - Eleven people were injured, including four seriously, in an explosion that has ripped through an office building in Southwest China's Sichuan province, local authorities said Thursday.
The accident occurred around 2:50 pm Thursday at the second floor of a China Mobile branch building in Nanjiang county, said the county's governor Li Shanjun, who is organizing rescue work at the scene.
An initial investigation indicated that the blast might be caused by natural gas leak, Li said.
