BEIJING — An explosion struck the entrance to a kindergarten in eastern China on Thursday, police said.

State media said there were casualties, and videos purportedly from the scene and posted on social media showed children and adults lying on the ground. Some were bleeding.

Police said they were investigating but offered no word on injuries or deaths. However state media reported at least seven dead and 59 injured as a result of the blast.

The blast struck at 4:50 p.m. local time (4:50 a.m. ET) Thursday in the city of Fengxian in Jiangsu province.

A cellphone camera video posted on the website of the official People's Daily newspaper showed more than a dozen people lying motionless in front of the kindergarten's steel sliding gate, with clothing, shoes and other items strewn on the ground beside pools of blood.

It also showed ambulances arriving and medics wheeling people into an emergency room.

It wasn't clear whether the blast was an accident or was deliberately set. The newspaper Xiandaikuaibao on its website cited an unidentified witness as saying the explosion appeared to have been linked to a bottle of cooking gas.

Kindergartens in China have been targeted before in apparent revenge attacks carried out by people bearing grudges against their neighbors and society.

That has prompted a tightening of security around many schools, with the posting of guards equipped with truncheons and the installation of gates and other barriers.

China maintains tight control over firearms and most attacks are carried out using knives, axes or homemade explosives

RIP,

What a low life people!!!!111
