SHANGHAI, June 12 -- Four people were injured in an explosion at Shanghai Pudong International Airport Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
The accident happened at around 2:20 p.m. near a check-in counter in Terminal 2, when what appears to be a homemade explosive blew up, according to Shanghai Airport Authority, which manages the airport.
The injured are receiving treatment at the Pudong New District People's Hospital.
One of the injured sustained a severe neck injury, according to the hospital. An initial investigation has found evidence suggesting that the man's injury could have been self-induced.
The other injured include a 53-year-old Philippine man, as well as a 67-year-old man and a 64-year-old woman, both of whom are Chinese. They sustained injuries to their heads, hands and legs, doctors said.
The investigation continues.
