The explosion occurred around 1815 GMT late
on Wednesday at a military ammunition depot where hand grenades were
stored and its cause was not yet known, said
the chief of staff in a statement posted on its website.
The blast caused a fire in the depot which officials said was
contained early Thursday.
Government officials dismissed any act of terrorism or
sabotage but said it was most probably an accident.
"This is most probably an accident," environment and
forestry minister Veysel Eroglu said in televised remarks.
"This is certainly not an act of terrorism."
Eroglu also warned citizens not to approach the area because
hand grenades were dispersed around
