Airports in Shanghai have tightened security checks after five people were injured in a blast at the Shanghai Pudong Airport on Sunday, The Paper has reported.
Security procedures at Shanghai's Pudong International Airport and Hongqiao International Airport are being upgraded, while more passengers are required to open their luggage for checks. Passengers at Terminal 2 of the Shanghai Pudong International Airport are required to take off their shoes for checks as well.
