Students of Aksu No. 5 Primary School were heading downstairs to the playground for after-class exercise when some of them fell and triggered the stampede at 12:00 p.m., a spokesman with the municipal publicity department, who declined to give his name, said.
The injured students were immediately taken to a local hospital. No death has been reported as of 2 p.m., he added.
The school has more than 1,800 students.
