Days after a highway overpass collapsed in Wuxi, killing three people, the city in eastern China’s Jiangsu province is back in the national spotlight because of a fatal gas explosion Sunday at a local restaurant.

The incident claimed nine lives and left 10 people injured, according to an official announcement from the city government. The restaurant — which specializes in Chinese soup dumplings, or xiaolongbao — is located in a three-story commercial building, the announcement said, adding that several neighboring businesses have been impacted by the explosion.

The Beijing News reported Sunday night that at least two of the injured remain in critical condition at local intensive care units. The restaurant has reportedly been operating for over three years. At around 1.3 meters tall, the gas canister it had been using was larger than those found in most households. (Image: VCG)
