A man in a wheelchair set off a home-made bomb in the arrivals hall at Beijing Airport today.
The man was initially suspected to to have died in the blast in Terminal 3 at around 6.24pm local time, but Chinese state media has now said he survived and was taken to hospital.
A photograph emerged online in the wake of the explosion showing a man in a wheelchair brandishing something in the air, along with another showing an empty wheelchair on its side in the smoke-filled arrivals hall.
The picture shows a huddled group of people crouching around someone on the floor next to the over-turned wheelchair.
The man is thought to have detonated a package of gunpowder used to make firecrackers.
Several other pictures that cropped up on Weibo - the Chinese equivalent of Twitter - showed smoke filling the air above the crowds making their way through the terminal in the capital.
