20k evacuated as Ukrainian military arms warehouse explodes
Around 20,000 people were evacuated on Thursday from Ukraine's Balakleya, which is 100 kilometre from the frontline of Ukraine's war against Russian-backed rebels, after a warehouse at a military base storing 1,38,000 tonnes of ammunition exploded. The Ukrainian military has accused saboteurs of blowing up the warehouse and cited a 2015 attempt to destroy the same base using drones.
