At least forty-four people have been killed and over 500 injured, according to state media reports. The explosions were caused by a shipment of explosives in a key industrial zone in Binhai New Area. The blast wave shattered windows in nearby offices and apartment blocks, and the impact was felt up to 10 kilometers away.
