At least two people were killed and 81 were injured following two blasts at an army base in Bolivia on Friday, authorities said.
Bolivian Defence Minister Ernesto Justiniano said the powerful explosions occurred at the RAM-2 “Bolívar” General Maintenance Center in Viacha, southwest of the administrative capital La Paz.
According to Justiniano, the site was used to store "pyrotechnic material." He added that "no weaponry of any kind was detonated" during the incident.
