Breitbart A laboratory at the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics exploded on Sunday, killing two and injuring nine. The explosion, Chinese state media noted, was the second of its kind at a research institute this year.
Images surfacing on social media, some of them verified through distribution in Chinese Communist Party outlets, appear to show an ongoing fire before a large blast on a higher floor of a building at the institution’s Jiangjun Road campus. Nanjing University published a message on its Weibo – a Chinese government-controlled social media outlet – page confirming the explosion, death count, and that authorities had completed “rescue” operations, but offered few other details. The identities of the victims remain private at press time.
