Arab News has stated that Photos and videos, which have been posted on social media, display a black pillar of smoke over the shopping center and continuing secondary explosions could still be heard. The Ministry of Emergency Situations in Yerevan has said that there are 10 fire and rescue trucks on the scene and another 10 trucks are en route to the incident. The shopping center, which is about 2 km south of the center of Yerevan, housed a fireworks storage area, and this is where the explosion was suspected to have occurred, according to a spokesman for the Yerevan Mayor, Levon Sardaryan.[/SIZE] [CENTER][B][U]Sources[/U] [URL='https://news.am/eng/news/716003.html']Armenia News[/URL] | [URL='https://www.arabnews.com/node/2142446/world']Arab News[/URL] | [URL='https://sputniknews.com/20220814/live-from-yerevan-armenia-as-deadly-blast-rips-through-local-market-1099576808.html']Sputnik International[/URL] | [URL='https://apnews.com/article/explosions-fires-armenia-2d94cc280698d6ab327dc9186409e302']Associated Press[/URL] [U]Photo Accreditation[/U] [URL='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en']Map of Armenia | UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) | CC-BY-3.0 | via Wikimedia Commons[/URL][/B] [/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
