Several blasts have ripped through Kaohsiung, a city in south-western Taiwan, killing at least 24, injuring over 270 and overturning the cars in the street, the Fire Agency said. The cause is thought to be gas leaks in the sewage system.
The blasts late Thursday killed at least 24 people and left 271 others injured, the National Fire Agency said. Those injured were rushed to various hospitals in the port city.
