An explosion tore through a residential street in Xing'an County, in southern China’s Guangxi region, early Thursday, killing at least seven people and injuring more than 30, according to state-run media. Several residents told The Epoch Times they believe the blast was set off deliberately by someone seeking “revenge against society,” and one said the casualty count is far higher than officials have acknowledged.

Police have ruled out a gas leak but have not announced a cause.
