Wildfires cause blasts in Bosnian minefield

As firefighters tried to contain two wildfires near an ammunition factory in southern Bosnia today, one of the blazes began setting off explosions in a minefield left over from the country’s war in the 1990s.

No one was injured, but the risks of entering the minefield and heavy winds were making it difficult for the firefighters and several military helicopters assisting them to fight the two blazes in the populated area.
