One person was killed and eight others were injured in explosions Wednesday morning in front of a provincial office building of the Communist Party of China, police said.
The blasts took place outside the office building of the Shanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China at around 7:40 a.m. on the Yingze Street in Taiyuan, reported Xinhua citing the city's public security bureau.
Among the eight injured, one was seriously wounded.
A big bang was heard and heavy smoke and flames were seen when Liu Guoliang, a witness, was driving on the Yingze overpass.
Liu saw a mini van blasted with heavy smoke and a lot of debris at the scene when he waited for traffic lights in front of the office building.
Police are investigating the case.
