In Tanzania, at least 32 people have been killed in explosions after an accident at an army base in the country's commercial capital, Dar es Salaam. Officials say, the multiple blasts from various arms depots lasted several hours at the Gongola Mboto military base. The city's airport is reported to have been closed after the blasts. Army chief of staff General Abdurahman Shimbo said, debris were hurled across the city and 32 people had died, most of them residents in neighbouring areas. The residents around that area have been warned if they see or come across a bomb not to touch it but inform the army.Earlier Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda said 17 bodies had been recovered. Mr Pinda said the explosions had started in one arms depot before spreading to others in the camp. By this morning, 23 munition depots had been destroyed, along with two residential houses and a secondary school.
