13 Million Granades Ammunition Explosion in factory Russia 18th June 2013
Large explosions rock an ammunition depot in Russia's Samara Region, where over 13 million shells are stored. Over 500 firefighters are combatting the blaze triggered by blasts, while dozens of residents in nearby communities have sought medical help.
Multiple artillery shells keep exploding at an ammunition depot near the city of Chapaevsk, a local police spokesman told RIA.
It is still not possible to halt the self-destruction, or to enter the firing grounds, he added, saying that the shell shards are scattering in such a large area that there is no way the fire brigade could reach and extinguish the fire.
According to the Chief Directorate of the Interior Ministry for Samara Region spokesman Sergey Goldstein, there are 13 million shell units at the ammunition depot, Interfax reports.
Police have cordoned off the area. At least 6,000 people from the nearby community have been evacuated to safety, Russia's Emergencies Ministry said in a statement.
11 people have been hospitalized as a result of the blasts, a source in emergency response team told RIA.
Earlier reports said that 34 people have sought medical attention in connection with the incident in Chapaevsk, according to Russian Health Ministry spokesman Oleg Salagay.
Local authorities are warning the residents of Chapaevsk not to enter the area of the blasts, and have sealed off the roads leading to the arsenal. There are some 74,000 people living in Chapaevsk just 15 kilometers from the area of the incident.
The Russia's Ministry of Emergencies is sending two planes with robot-equipped bomb-disposal experts to Chapaevsk, reports Itar-Tass.
Chapaevsk is covered by smoke. The shells are exploding at a military depot in Nagorny community. The federal highway has been blocked, the city resident @andygoalkeeper posts on Twitter.

At least seven people died after a series of explosions caused by a fire at a military munitions depot in the Russian village of Bolshaya Tura, around 6,200 km southeast of Moscow.
At least four more people are missing and 17 are injured, the local Zabaikalsky Krai government was quoted by Reuters as saying.
The explosions were caused by a wildfire that was raging nearby the ammunition depot.
More than 1,000 residents were evacuated from the area as a result of the explosions.
Six trains traveling on the Transsiberian railway, up to a third of which transport coal, between Chita and Karymskaya, were temporarily stopped for security reasons.
Trains traveling to and from Moscow have also been canceled due to the accident, RT reported.
By 17:30 GMT, the fire appeared to have been contained, but four fire brigade units are still working in the area as there might still be a threat of more explosions.
The incident is the latest in a string of fires and explosions at munitions storage and disposal sites that have plagued Russia over the past two years, Ria Novosti reported.
Critics of the military attribute the problems to poor oversight and lax safety standards.
