The Chinese government is probing the death of two of its nationals following a massive blast in Karadiyanaru, Batticaloa this morning, a Chinese Embassy official told Daily Mirror online.

The Chinese Ambassador in Colombo and a group of Chinese Embassy officials left for Karadiyanaru this afternoon to inspect the site of the blast and obtain first hand information about the incident.

Two Chinese nationals were among the 25 people killed in today’s blast, the military said.

According to the military, the explosion occurred when two Chinese nationals had arrived to take some explosives from one of the three explosives laden containers which were kept at the Karadiyanaru Police Station for safety.

The containers belonged to a Chinese company who were indulged in development work in the area.

One container carrying the explosives exploded and triggered the explosion of the next two containers. (Daily Mirror online)
