A blast has reportedly taken place outside the US Embassy in Beijing. People on social media posted photos and videos of the aftermath of the purported explosion.
Plumes of smoke are seen in videos released online. The images also show police and what appears to be a body covered by a blanket, lying on the ground.

Neither Chinese, nor American officials have so far confirmed the incident.
According to Radio Free Asia online news, a man attempted to throw a homemade bomb into the gated compound of the embassy, but the device went off earlier than planned. The blast caused panic and injured a number of people, the news portal said. However, there is no official information on whether anyone was hurt in the incident.

Amid reports of the blast, China’s Global Times cited witnesses claiming that a woman sprayed gasoline on herself in a suspected self-immolation attempt. Police took her away, but it is not yet clear if the incident is related to the suspected explosion, according to the Global Times.

Chinese police were seen examining a vehicle outside the compound, a witness told Reuters.

BEIJING — A bomb exploded outside the United States embassy in Beijing on Thursday (July 26), wounding the lone assailant, the embassy said in a statement, but police described the weapon merely as a "firework device".
The explosion happened in a public space off the southeast corner of the embassy compound, the embassy said. Beijing police said the suspect, a 26-year-old man from China's Inner Mongolia region, had injured his hand.

Police did not provide a motive but China and the United States have been involved in an escalating trade dispute initiated by the Trump administration after the two sides imposed tariffs on US$34 billion worth of each other's goods.
Witnesses told Reuters that they heard an explosion near the embassy and felt tremors.
A police SUV appeared to have been damaged, with its back windshield missing, and was cordoned off by police before being removed, a Reuters witness said.
Crowds were still queueing outside the embassy after the explosion and traffic was moving as normal in an area of northeastern Beijing that is home to numerous embassies including those of France, India and Israel.
Postings on social media showed pictures of smoke close to where people line up outside the compound for visa appointments. Some video clips and images were later removed.
Staff members at the Indian and South Korean embassies said they were unaware of any unusual incident and were working as normal.
An earlier report in the Global Times, a newspaper run by the ruling Communist Party's People's Daily, said that police had removed a woman who had sprayed herself with gasoline in a suspected self-immolation attempt. REUTERS
