At least one massive explosion late Wednesday rocked the Chinese port city of Tianjin, injuring dozens of people.

China's state-run People's Daily attributed the blast to “combustible and explosive goods” at the city’s container terminal. The newspaper’s website said the injured had been taken to hospital, but there was no official casualty count.

It later added that China’s Earthquake Network Center measured two blasts, 30 seconds apart.

CCTV-America, the U.S. arm of the Chinese state-run broadcaster, added:

The National Business Daily newspaper also reported that two firefighters battling the blaze are missing and six are slightly wounded. Six fire brigades are on the scene and the fire is nearly out. The newspaper also reported that 300-400 people are wounded.

Xinhua, the official news agency, said the fire caused by the explosion was “under control.”
