At least 10 people were killed and dozens more injured on Friday after an explosion at a military barracks in the Bolivian municipality of Viacha, about 30 kilometres from La Paz, local authorities said.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Viacha health director Rita Nebraska told local television that between 10 and 15 people were believed to have died in the incident, while 62 people were injured.
Police said dozens of homes in the surrounding area were damaged, largely by windows shattered in the blast.
The blast occurred at around 2:30 p.m. local time in an area used to store pyrotechnic material, authorities said.
Ambulances, medical teams and police were deployed to the military complex to assess the damage and evacuate the wounded to health centres.
Analysis
Agreed
Reported by outlets on both sides of the middle
Nebraska said firefighters had warned that a heat source remained at the site, raising the risk of another explosion, and urged residents to stay at least 150 metres away.
