Rare footage shows a blastwave racing out from an explosion at a Russian ammunitions depot during a series of blasts that prompted authorities to declare a 12.5-mile evacuation zone after a fire ignited powder munitions, according to local reports.

News agency Tass reported that the fire started at the storage facility for powder charges at the military unit in Siberia in the Achinsky District on Aug. 6.
