A fire in a basement at the Shanghai Hongqiao airport in China has killed two people and injured four, the People's Daily said on Friday.

The fire broke out in a pile of insulation material in the basement of the airport's terminal one at around 7 a.m. local time (2300 GMT Thursday) during an underground renovation project, the People's Daily said on its official microblog.

"There's been no impact on airport operations," said an airport official who said he was responsible for traveller inquiries.
