The death toll from a powerful explosion in an internet cafe in southwest China has risen to seven, state media said Sunday, as officials ordered a nationwide safety inspection of entertainment venues.
The blast — thought to have been caused by chemicals — ripped through the web cafe in Kaili city in Guizhou province late Saturday, injuring 37 people and reducing the building to ruins, the official Xinhua news agency said.
The death toll reached seven after a woman died from severe burns on Sunday afternoon, it said.
