Beijing, Jan 8 (Prensa Latina) China reported at least 21 deaths and about twenty injured as a result of tragic incidents registered in different regions of the country.

Sixteen people lost their lives and 10 were injured during the explosion and subsequent collapse of a canteen in the Chongqing municipality.

The Council of State will direct the investigations into this incident, as it is suspected that it originated from a gas leak.

Moreover, a fire broke out this Saturday in a medical center in the central province of Hunan, with a balance of five dead and a dozen injured.

In Qinghai, four individuals were injured as a result of a 6.9-magnitude earthquake, which disrupted rail transportation, damaged several highways and an unknown number of homes.
