VIACHA, Bolivia (AFP)—At least 14 people are missing after two explosions at a military base in Bolivia that left two dead and more than 80 injured, the base commander said Saturday.
The blasts occurred Friday afternoon at a facility where explosives are stored in the town of Viacha, home to about 114,00 people and located 30 kilometers southwest of La Paz.
On Saturday, streets were littered with rubble and windows in nearby buildings were shattered. A black plume of smoke rose from the damaged building as firefighters worked to clear debris from the site, an AFP photographer observed.
