TWO workers were killed and three injured after a boiler blast in a food company in northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, hospital sources said.

A boiler in Yishunzhai Food Co. Ltd in Yongning County exploded at around 9:40am yesterday when workers were debugging it. Two were killed at the scene while three were injured.

The three were rushed to a hospital in Yinchuan, the regional capital, for emergency treatment. One of them suffered serious burns but had no life dangers, a nurse said.

The cause of the incident was still being investigated.
