A dummy round cannot be fired. It is inert. A blank can be fired, but they are not dangerous unless safety protocols are ignored. The Reuters headline makes it clear that the round was live.

Yes, obviously the round that was fired was live. But was the intent to load dummy rounds, or was the intent to load blanks?

Each has a different safety and handling procedure.
