Rescue workers were frantically trying to search for survivors and render aid to hundreds of people after a massive gas explosion rocked the Chinese city of Shiyan.
At least 12 people were killed in the blast Sunday, while dozens of others were injured. A total of 138 people were rescued as of late Sunday, with 37 of those suffering serious injuries.
The aftermath of the explosion made portions of Shiyan look like a war zone, as homes were flattened and buildings collapsed or were severely damaged. Piles of debris were strewn about the city as rescue workers continued to work the scene.
What else do we know about this situation and is the cause of the explosion known yet?
