At least two people have died and over 50 others have been injured following an explosion at a military barracks in Bolivia. The incident occurred around 2:30 p.m. local time on Friday (6:30 p.m. GMT) at a facility in Viacha, a town about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the capital, La Paz. The site houses an artillery regiment, and the blast is believed to have been caused by pyrotechnic material, which refers to items used for creating fireworks or other explosive effects. Bolivian Defense Minister Ernesto Justiniano confirmed that the explosion happened at the military base, while health official Rita Nebraska reported that between 10 and 15 people may have died, according to Reuters. Emergency workers are currently searching through the rubble for survivors, and police have noted that many nearby homes suffered damage, primarily broken windows. Nebraska warned that there is a risk of further explosions and urged residents to stay at least 150 meters away from the base for safety. According to police spokesman Roger Roca, fireworks were stored at the barracks, and the exact cause of the blast is still under investigation. Authorities in Viacha have declared three days of mourning to honor those affected by the tragedy. Another report mentioned that the explosion resulted in at least two deaths and approximately 60 injuries, with pyrotechnic equipment found on the premises. The situation remains under control, but the investigation continues to determine the full cause of the incident.
