At least five people have been killed and eight others are still missing after a massive explosion at a chemical plant in north-eastern China, state media said.
CCTV said more than 30 other people were injured in the explosion on Sunday on the outskirts of the city of Panjin in Liaoning province east of the capital, Beijing.
News releases from the local government showed photos of flames and thick black smoke rising from the complex of chemical processing machinery, pipes and storage containers.
