One dead, several hurt in Venezuela arms depot blast
At least one person was killed and several injured in northern Venezuela early Sunday when a series of powerful explosions shook an arms and munitions depot, officials said.
The arsenal is located in the city of Maracay, in Aragua state. All residents living within five kilometers (3.1 miles) of the munitions dump, about 10,000 people, were evacuated, state governor Rafael Isea said.
The explosions were triggered by a fire, but the cause of the fire is unknown.
