The death toll from two huge explosions that tore through an
industrial area in the northeastern Chinese port of Tianjin has risen to 85,
the official Xinhua news agency said on Saturday.
Shockwaves from the
blasts late on Wednesday were felt by residents in apartment blocks kilometres
away in the city of 15 million people.
China on Friday defended
fire fighters who initially hosed water on a blaze in a warehouse storing
volatile chemicals, a response foreign experts said could have contributed to
the explosions.
