Media reports of explosion on aircraft carrier dismissed
Reports in foreign media of an explosion on board China's Liaoning aircraft carrier "didn't conform with the facts", Defense Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said at a news conference on Thursday. Yang declined to answer questions about the construction of new aircraft carriers. China's aircraft carrier, the 300-meter Liaoning, was commissioned in September 2012.
