Huge explosions have erupted at an ammunition depot near the Serbian capital of Belgrade, followed by a fire and a weird-looking cloud hovering in the blue skies. At least one person was killed and 25 others injured after two blasts at the military facility in the city of Kragujevac, some 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the capital, AP reported citing Serbia’s defense ministry. The Defense Minister, Zoran Djordjevic headed to the scene, public broadcaster RTS reported. Several

people are still missing, as a roof collapsed, possibly trapping more people inside the facility, AP reported citing local media. ”The missing people are inside the danger zone which we currently cannot access,” Djordjevic said, adding that the military is sending a robot and a drone to aid the search and rescue operation. Those who have been taken to hospital are mostly suffering from severe burns, according to AP citing local hospital officials. READ MORE
