The explosion took place on the 12th floor of the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi mall in the morning of Feb 13.PHOTO: LI ZHONGYU/FACEBOOK An explosion at a central Taiwan department store on Feb 13 has left at least five dead and more injured, Taiwanese media reported. The blast happened at around 11.30am on the 12th floor of the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi mall located in the Xitun area of Taichung city. Ceiling-to-ground windows that were part of the building’s facade can be seen shattered in images circulated online. The explosion was linked to a suspected gas leak when a gas tank was being replaced at the mall’s food court, the Liberty Times reported. The food court was closed for refurbishment, Taichung mayor Lu Shiow-yen told reporters at the scene. She added that rescue operations were ongoing, with reports of people stuck in the building’s disrupted lifts.
