A possible explosion has killed two people and injured at least ten after a bus was destroyed in central China.

The incident took place in Changsha, the capital city of Hunan Province. The bus was travelling from the airport at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The bus burst into flames about 12km from the airport.

The bus was burned to only a shell after the incident. The 10 injured have been sent to the local hospital, and 2 are in critical condition. One passenger said he saw a man, approximately 30 years old with a red T-shirt, light a bag that smelled like petrol.
