Tripoli, 15 August 2013:

A weapons and ammunition store in a warehouse in Misrata has exploded, damaging nearby properties.

No-one was injured in the explosion, which occurred in the Ruwaisat district of Misrata. However, the blast sent a number of explosives flying out of the building at high velocity. Two landed near a hospital and another caused a fire in a nearby pharmaceutical warehouse.

The cause of the blast is not yet known.
