    Chinese authorities ended the search for the remaining eight missing after the massive Tianjin warehouse explosions last month, setting the final death toll at 173 in China’s worst industrial disaster in years.

    The Ministry of Public Security has honored 24 firefighters who died in the aftermath of the explosions, with plans to award them golden medals recognizing their contribution to national defense.
