BEIJING, June 11 (Reuters) - An explosion killed seven people early on Thursday in China's southwestern region of Guangxi, local authorities said in a notice, adding that they were investigating its cause, but ruling out a risk from gas pipelines.
Seventeen injured were taken to hospital, but none in critical condition, they said, after the 1.40 a.m. blast in the town of Xingan, nestled in a mountainous area rich in mineral and agricultural resources.
