A large fire is seen after a huge blast at a Jordanian military arms depot early this morning. The blast happened in the city of Zarqa, 25 kilometres east of the capital Amman, where several Jordanian bases and depots are located. Government spokesperson Amjad al-Adaileh said in his statement that "so far no injuries have been recorded". An initial investigation had determined that "the explosion was caused by an electrical short circuit in warehouses situated in an isolated and uninhabited area" which was under camera surveillance.
