206 killed in Republic of Congo blasts: Officials At least 206 people were killed in a series of explosions at a munitions depot in the Congolese capital of Brazzaville
A morgue and a hospital in the capital of the Republic of Congo have taken in 206 bodies of those killed in blasts caused by an arms depot fire in the capital. More bodies were coming into the morgue Sunday afternoon, which counted 136 bodies. A hospital worker reported 70 more deaths. A local hospital reported at least 237 wounded people. Sunday's blasts flattened many buildings in Brazzaville and sent more than 2,000 fleeing their homes. Didier Boutsindi of the presidential office says untold numbers of people were trapped in a church that collapsed. The explosions shook houses in Brazzaville and echoed across the Congo River to the capital of the neighboring country. The Republic of Congo is often overshadowed by its much larger neighbor, Congo.
