In central China, an explosion occurred in a road tunnel being constructed leaving at least 20 people killed, state media reported. The road tunnel is to link the Yanling and Rueheng in Zhuzhou city in Hunan province.

Such accidents are common in China due to lax building rules and poor safety standards.
