Rescuers working in the aftermath of massive explosions in the Chinese port city of Tianjin on Friday found a person alive more than 31 hours after the disaster, a city official told reporters.
State media agency Xinhua said the survivor is a 19-year-old firefighter named Zhou Ti. China's state broadcaster CCTV said he was treated for burns, smoke inhalation and an injured leg.
At least 56 people, including 21 firefighters, died after a pair of massive explosions erupted from a warehouse containing "dangerous goods" on Wednesday.
A total of 701 people remained hospitalized, and 70 are still in critical condition, a Tianjin official said.
Eighteen firefighters remained missing Thursday, Xinhua reported.
