Baku-APA. Seven people were killed and more than 20 others injured after a commuter-van exploded in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province on Friday, local authorities said, APA reports quoting Xinhua.
The commuter-van from Zhongxing Mineral Industry Company in Shuangyashan City exploded around 6:30 a.m. in the district of Lingdong, the Shuangyashan city government said in a statement.
