    Global Security report

    Eight servicemen were killed and two injured on Monday in a new explosion at an arms depot in the city of Ulyanovsk, in Russia’s Volga region, a Defense Ministry spokesman said.

    Col. Alexei Kuznetsov said the explosion occurred when ammunition was being loaded into a truck.

    The blasts took place while munitions were being detonated in a controlled operation at the city’s number 31 arms depot, the Ulyanovsk branch of Russia’s FSB security service said in a statement.

    May the dead rest in peace, and the military prevent this tragedy happening for a third time.
