KRASNOYARSK, Russia (Sputnik) - The number of people injured in a series of explosions at an ammunition depot near the town of Achinsk in Russia's Krasnoyarsk Territory has increased to 40, a spokeswoman to the local healthcare authorities told Sputnik on Wednesday. "According to the latest information, there are 40 injured ... Eight people remain in hospitals," Zoya Melnikova said.
The health authorities earlier said one person was killed and 32 others were injured in the explosions.
Explosions initially rocked the depot on August 5. Several days later, a lightning hit the same military facility, causing new blasts.
On 9 August, the Russian Armed Forces’ Central Military District said that lightning had hit an ammunition rack. Nine people were injured in a blast near a railroad on the Uluy-Achinsk section in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and four of them were subsequently hospitalised, a spokesperson for the local emergency service has said.
A state of emergency was declared on 9 August in Achinsk district due to the explosions.
Reminds me of a Boudreax joke.
The teacher was teaching about Morals. And she asked if anyone could give an example of a moral.
Little Marie spoke up and said, We tried to hatch 20 chicken eggs in an incubator last spring, but only 4 of them hatched. Teacher said and what was the moral? Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
Little Evangeline spoke up and said, My momma sent me to the store to buy two cartons of eggs. But I lost my balance on the way home and the eggs fell out of my bicycle basket and they all broke. And the moral is don’t put all your eggs in the same basket.
Little Pierre spoke up and said, My aunt Clotile jumped out of a helicopter with a machine gun, 2 hangranades and a six pack of beer. She drank the six pack on the way down. When she hit the ground she shot 12 terrorists and blew up an ammo dump.
Little Pierre does this story have a moral? Yes Ma’am. The moral is you don’t f*ck with Aunt Clotile when she drunk.
I have to remember this one.
