Several blasts have ripped through Kaohsiung, a city in south-western Taiwan,
killing 4, injuring over 180 and overturning cars, local media reported. The
cause is thought to be gas leaks in the sewage system.
According to witnesses, gas leaks began at around 9:00 p.m. local time. They
formed white fog while fire was lighted up, leading to big explosions on
several streets, China’s Central News Agency reported.

Some witnessed told the agency they first thought some "poisonous gas" had
leaked from the old railway and a construction site of Kaohsiung's light
rapid transit system.
"I saw fire spurting, ripping off some covers of ditches. It was terrifying,"
he said.
Others reported the whole street was strewn with bodies, as the sky turned
red with the light of the flames. At least 4 people were killed and 182 taken
to hospital following the blasts, Taiwan's United Daily News newspaper said.
The number of those injured is expected to rise, the Fire Department said.
Many others were taken to schools across the city to take shelter.
The blasts which hit Kaisuan Road and Ersheng Road were felt in at least four
areas in the port-city of Kaohsiung, which is home to over 2.7 million
people, most of them Chinese.
