Mother of Tianjin blast victim has twins

The mother of a firefighter killed in massive chemical explosions in Tianjin in 2015 gave birth to twins at a hospital in Wuhan, Hubei province, on Thursday.

Fang Zhiying, 48, and the babies are out of danger, her husband, Pang Fangguo, said on Sunday. He said the doctors had not specified when the mother and newborns - a boy and a girl - could be discharged.

The couple decided to have another baby after their first son, Pang Ti, died at age 24 in the series of blasts at a warehouse in Tianjin.
