The greatest danger for the citizens of Sofia is already gone as about 20 tons of TNT stored in a military facility on fire have already burned out without exploding, Defence Minister Nikolay Tsonev said.

There is also no danger of chemical pollution, as only conventional ammunition was stored in the facility near the Chelopechene district of the capital.

A huge explosion rocked the military storage house on Thursday morning but luckily no one was hurt.

Detonations, however, continue to be heard in the area.
