Bolivia reports updated death toll from military blast
Bolivia reported that an explosion occurred on Thursday at a military barracks in the municipality of Vicha, 30 kilometers from La Paz, resulting in the death of nine people. Most members of the Bolivar regiment were outside the barracks at the time of the incident, which prevented a greater disaster. An investigation is currently underway to determine the cause of the explosion, which appears to be due to improper handling of the stored explosives at the facility. Authorities announced that bodies have been recovered from the rubble, and 31 injured individuals are receiving treatment in hospitals. Security forces continue searching for the missing persons. President Rodrígo Báñez declared a period of mourning and called for the tragedy not to be politicized.
