Four killed, several injured in Aboso explosion
Four people died, and several others sustained injuries following an explosion involving suspected explosives at Aboso in the Prestea Huni Valley Municipality of the Western Region on Tuesday, August 4. Eyewitnesses claimed the blast was triggered after an attempt to shoot a snake accidentally ignited explosives reportedly stored near a fuel station at Breman. An eyewitness stated, "We heard a loud sound, which many of us thought was an earthquake. We later found out that a man who is known to be dealing in explosives had gone to hide some of these explosives around a gas station in Breman."
The eyewitness alleged that workers linked to the owner of the explosives were working nearby when they spotted a snake and attempted to kill it with a gun. The bullet missed the snake and struck the explosives, setting off a powerful explosion. The blast claimed four lives and left several others injured, while sending residents fleeing in panic. Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene to assist the injured and secure the area. Investigations are expected to establish the full details of the incident.
