An arms depot outside the central Libyan town of Hun has been destroyed in a massive blast. It is said to have been an accident and happened when an unstable explosive at the store detonated last night setting off a chain reaction.
No one was last hurt although an eyewitness told the Libya Herald there had been substantial damage to the premises.
Local fire fighters managed to deal with the ensuing blaze.
Munitions in several arms depots across the country are poorly maintained and, as a result, extremely dangerous.
