Explosions rock Russian military arsenal

Emergency officials say a fire at a military ammunition depot in Russia's Far East has left at least two soldiers wounded and prompted authorities to evacuate villages and halt traffic on a key railway.

Military prosecutors said the two servicemen were wounded Friday in powerful explosions triggered by the fire at the depot near the village of Sungach about 280 kilometers northeast of the Pacific port city of Vladivostok. They said their lives weren't in danger.

The Emergency Situations Ministry said crews urgently evacuated several hundred residents from Sungach and a nearby village.

Authorities also ordered traffic halted on the Trans-Siberian railway that runs through Sungach.

Footage broadcast on Russia's NTV television showed a huge column of smoke rising to the skies from the arsenal. The cause of the blaze was not immediately named.
