BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (CNN) -- The Chinese embassy in Belgrade was damaged during a NATO airstrike late Friday, prompting the Chinese to demand an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council to discuss what one Chinese official termed a "barbarian act."
The emergency session, at U.N. headquarters in New York, is set to begin at 11:30 p.m. EDT (0330 GMT).
Yugoslav officials said one person was killed and 26 others were injured by "two direct hits" on the embassy. The extent of the injuries was not immediately known.
China's official Xinhua news agency reported five injuries, one serious, and three missing people.
"We are greatly shocked," said China's U.N. ambassador, Qin Huasan, in a statement. "NATO's barbarian act is a gross violation of the U.N. charter and international law and laws governing international relations."
The statement said NATO should be held responsible for the consequences of the bombing.
"We call on NATO to stop immediately its military actions so as to avoid further humanitarian disaster," the statement added.
Serbian television showed people being evacuated via fire ladders from upper floors of the embassy, which is located in a section of the capital known as New Belgrade.
The strike on the embassy could add a new dimension to the Yugoslav crisis. China is a permanent member of the Security Council, which is expected to consider a new peace plan proposed by the Group of Eight nations. The Chinese have been strongly opposed to NATO airstrikes on Yugoslavia.
