BEIJING (AP) - A series of explosions at a chemical plant in China's northeast killed five people, left dozens hospitalized and forced more than 10,000 others to flee their homes fearing contamination and more blasts, news reports said.
One person was still missing late Monday, a day after the blast, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
The explosions Sunday afternoon shattered windows up to 200 meters (700 feet) away from the No. 101 Chemical Plant in the city of Jilin, Xinhua and government-run newspapers reported.
