A series of explosions rocked Liucheng County in China’s Guangxi region two days ago, leaving at least seven dead and 51 others injured from the blasts.
Various reports by Chinese media are saying that the explosions were caused by 17 parcel bombs, which the perpetrator paid couriers to deliver across Liucheng. The 17 blasts caused major wreckage to several vehicles and even caused the collapse of half a building. Following the explosions, a total of 60 suspicious courier parcels have since been identified and are under watch by a bomb squad.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs have assured that no Singaporeans were killed or injured by the explosions. “We are saddened by the loss of innocent lives, they wrote. “We convey our condolences to the families of the victims, and wish the injured a speedy recovery.”
A 33-year-old male suspect from Dapu township by the name of Wei has since been arrested in relation to the attacks.
