An explosion at a Russian military weapons disposal site has left one person injured. About 4, 000 tonnes of ammunition detonated as it was being unloaded by soldiers at the site on Wednesday.

The explosion also forced over 10, 000 nearby residents to evacuate. Authorities have declared a state of emergency. And a committee is now investigating the possible causes.

They did not observe safety procedures?

It is funny, 4,000 tonnes of ammunition detonated and only ONE person injured. Unbelieveable.
