Original Message
Thousands fled when two villages were evacuated following a series of huge explosions near a military testing ground some 40 kilometers from the city of Orenburg in Central Russia.
Witnesses recorded video of a massive plume of smoke rising into the air shortly after the explosions. Local residents said that the blasts were powerful enough to cause windows to shake dozens of kilometers away from the epicenter.
Initial reports suggested that a fire at the facility’s loading dock set off shells stored for disposal on a train. Local hospitals reported that four people were injured in the blast, and said they expected the number of injuries to increase.
