China played down the significance of a blast outside the U.S. Embassy in Beijing on Thursday, calling it an “isolated” incident.
A 26-year-old man from China’s northern region of Inner Mongolia detonated an explosive device around 1 p.m., the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau said on its official Weibo social media account. The man was being treated in a hospital for a non-life-threatening injury, the police said.
