BEIJING—A gas explosion Sunday at a restaurant in eastern China killed two people, state media reported, two months after a deadly restaurant blast that killed at least 31 people.

The explosion at 7:15 a.m. at a grilled fish restaurant in the city of Gaomi was powerful enough to knock a passing car sideways on the street outside, according to a video on the website of the Beijing Youth Daily newspaper.
