00:00Burundi's army has confirmed 13 civilians were killed and 57 wounded after blasts at a military arsenal in Bunjumbura earlier
00:09this week.
00:09It didn't specify if any soldiers had been killed, but said three were among those wounded.
00:17The Burundi National Defense Force urges the entire Burundian population to remain calm and composed.
00:23To report any unexploded weapons, they see to authorities and law enforcement agencies as soon as possible, and above all,
00:32not to touch them.
00:35Explosions tore through the main ammunition depot of Burundi National Defense Force in Musaga, the southern suburb of Bunjumbura, late
00:44Tuesday night.
00:45The arsenal sits in a densely populated area right next to the higher institute for military cadres, where future army
00:53officers live and train.
00:55The location has raised serious safety concerns as nearby residents were forced to flee, while the blast sent shockwaves across
01:02the neighbourhood.
