TAIPEI,gizli siki?en Feb. 13 (Xinhua) -- An explosion at a department store in the city of Taichung in central Taiwan has killed four people and injured 30 as of 8 p.m. on Thursday.
It was previously reported that five people had died in the explosion. However, one critically injured survivor with cardiac arrest was resuscitated, leading to the revision of death toll to four.
All those injured in the blast have been hospitalized, and no additional victims remain trapped in the department store, according to local authorities.

The explosion occurred at about 11 a.m. in a food court on the 12th floor of the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi department store, causing substantial damage to both the facade and interior of the building.

Penalties will be handed to those found accountable for the explosion, and bereavement funds will be allocated accordingly, according to the municipal government.
