<p>At least 20 people have been killed when a military ammunition depot in Tanzania&#8217;s largest city blew up in a series of explosions.</p>
<p>The blasts flattened homes and left more than 140 people injured.</p>
<p>Thousands ran for their lives from blasts that were felt 12 miles away.</p>
<p>Prime minister Mizengo Pinda said several houses and a school were destroyed in the explosions, which sent huge orange bursts into the sky over Dar es Salaam.</p>
<p>Debris showered parts of the city 10 miles from the Gongola Mboto military base where the depot is located.</p>
<p>It was at least the second such ammunition depot explosion at a military base in Dar es Salaam since 2009.</p>
<p>Military spokesman Lt Col Kapambala Mgawe said the explosions were accidental, but gave no further details.</p>
<p>The blasts closed the city&#8217;s international airport, which is near the Gongola Mboto military base.</p>
<p>Some 4,000 residents were evacuated to the national stadium in Dar es Salaam, which lies along the Indian Ocean in East Africa.</p>
