A massive fire at a military camp in Burundi's Musaga area set off explosions, resulting in 13 deaths and 57 injuries. The fire was caused by a short-circuit in a storage unit, and authorities are urging residents to remain calm and report any unexploded ordnance.
Explosions that ripped through the city of Bujumbura after a fire in a military arsenal have killed several dozen people. The explosions erupted late on Tuesday at the main ammunition depot of the Burundi National Defence Force in Musaga, a southern suburb of Bujumbura.
At least seven people, including two inmates at Mpimba prison, were killed after projectiles exploded on Tuesday evening at an ammunition depot of a military camp in Bujumbura, Burundi's commercial capital.
