Dar es Salaam - A series of blasts at a military munitions dump killed at least 20 people in Tanzania's commercial capital Dar es Salaam late on Wednesday, Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda said.

Pinda told parliament on Thursday that 4 000 people had sought shelter at the national stadium. Some 23 munitions depots, a secondary school and two houses were also razed.

“The death toll might rise when we ascertain the full extent of the damage caused by the explosions,” Pinda said in a statement to parliament. - Reuters
