BEIJING, China (CNN) -- A mosque under construction in northwestern China collapsed, killing at least seven people and seriously injuring four others, Chinese state media reported on Friday.
The collapse happened at about 5 p.m. on Thursday in Ta'er township in the Datong Hui and Tu ethnic autonomous county, the Qinghai provincial government said, according to Xinhua news agency.
The Hui and Tu -- among China's 56 official ethnic groups -- respectively comprise Muslims and a group practicing a blend of Buddhism, Shamanism and Taoism.
