It didn&#8217;t provide further details on what happened. <\/p>\n<p>Setting off firecrackers at midnight on the Lunar New Year is a tradition in China, but many places have banned fireworks in recent years, at least in part because of air pollution. <\/p>\n<p>They may make a comeback in some places after some governments eased their bans last year. <\/p>\n<p>The Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival in China, falls on Tuesday. It will mark the start of the year of the horse in the Chinese zodiac.  <\/p>\n<p>Following Sunday&#8217;s explosion, the Ministry of Emergency Management urged all regions to strengthen the supervision of the production, transportation, sales and use of fireworks to prevent future accidents. <\/p>\n<p>A ministry statement said that trying out fireworks and firecrackers around stores should be strictly prohibited and called on local governments to identify and eliminate blind spots &#8220;to ensure the people have a safe, auspicious and happy Spring Festival.&#8221;
