Four injured but no flights delayed after Shanghai airport blast

An explosion at a check-in area of Shanghai’s main international airport injured four people but did not cause any disruption to flights.

The small blast at Pudong International Airport, China’s second-busiest, occurred at around 2.20pm local time yesterday.

It was caused by some sort of home-made explosive, the airport’s management said, adding that the four injured people were taken to a hospital. It gave no word about their condition.
