At least 10 people were killed and dozens injured following explosions at a Bolivian military base, authorities said, according to a report by Al Jazeera.

Officials said the blasts occurred at a facility used to store pyrotechnic material, though the exact cause of the explosions was not immediately disclosed.

Authorities said seven people remained missing in the aftermath of the incident, raising concerns that the death toll could rise as search and rescue efforts continue.

The scale of the damage and the number of casualties suggest a significant emergency response is under way, though further details on the circumstances of the explosions, the identities of victims, and any ongoing investigation have not yet been made public.

Al Jazeera reported the incident on September 5, 2026, citing statements from authorities. Additional information about the base's location and the nature of the pyrotechnic material involved was not provided in initial reports.
