Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced in Beijing Saturday that the Chinese government decided to offer aid to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) for a train explosion.

The assistance valued at 10 million yuan (1.21 million US dollars) will be given to the DPRK side in a few days, which includes food, medicine, medical equipment and tents, sources said.

A massive explosion took place when two fuel-laden trains collided on Thursday afternoon near a DPRK station in Ryongchon. To express sympathy to the DPRK people, the Chinese government decided to provide the assistance to the DPRK government for its rescue work, sources said.
