A large fireworks blast in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, rocked the city on Sunday, killing multiple people and wounding dozens more.
The explosion, which occurred at the Surmalu market, killed at least two people and injured at least 60 others.
First responders were still battling the fire that the explosion set off at the shopping mall well into the night while others tried to search for people who might be trapped under the rubble.
Video of the incident shows a massive plume of black smoke coming up from the area before the explosion leveled the building and sent people running.
