Confirmation of explosion at Fukushima?

Most information on the New indicates that this was a hoax.

However, I did fing this onen report from the Indian media that dates from 19.30 GMT on the 22^nd.

This is the only reference (apart from the initial rumour and the Info Wars article) in the media that tends to give some veracity to the reports.

No doubt, more later as it comes to hand.

UPDATE: Very strange.  Someone pointed out that there was an identical story posted in April last year

"We are looking into the cause and the situation and we'll make that public when we have further information," Edano said.

"At present, we think 10 km evacuation is appropriate."

Japan earlier in the day warned of a meltdown at a reactor at the plant, damaged when a massive earthquake and tsunami struck the northeast coast, but said the risk of radiation contamination was small.

Edano also said that Japan has expanded the evacuation area around the Fukushima Daini nuclear plant. (Reporting by Kiyoshi Takenaka; Editing by Joseph Radford)
