An explosion has occurred at a military facility in Plateau State with yet unknown number of casualties, witnesses and a security source said.
The bomb hit the Nigerian Army’s 3rd Armoured Division barracks at Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, at about 9:45 a.m. on Saturday.
The casualty rate was unclear as the police could not be immediately reached.
Plateau State has witnessed a series of deadly bomb attacks in recent months. A blast at a bus station in Jos, Plateau, late February killed 13 people and injured 14 others.
Update: Other reports from Jos have disclosed that the explosion was caused by the destruction of old explosives in an old ammunition armoury.
The authorities were said to be clearing the stock when some explosives went off.
