8 injured in NEW explosions at Siberian ammo depot (VIDEO)
Eight people have been injured in a new blast at the ill-fated ammo depot in Russia’s Krasnoyarsk Region. The incident took place days after massive explosions at the site were filmed and became an internet sensation.
Locals posted videos of the explosions on Friday, showing plumes of black smoke rising high into the rainy sky.
There were conflicting reports about the cause of the new blast, ranging from lightning hitting munitions, to a train running over an artillery shell.
The regional government said that a shell went off during demining activities at the depot, which was demolished on Monday.
A total of eight people were transported to hospital with injuries in the wake of the blast, medics said. Residents were evacuated from the nearby village of Kamenka, which suffered severe damage during the original explosions.
