Bolivian Barracks Blast: Pyrotechnic Perils in Times of Crisis The recent explosion at a Bolivian military barracks serves as a stark reminder that even in times of crisis, pyrotechnics can be deadly.
On Friday, an explosion ripped through the area used to store pyrotechnic material, leaving at least 10 people dead and dozens more injured.
The blast's origin from the defense ministry's fireworks stockpile raises questions about safety protocols for handling such materials.
