Around 300 people have been injured and an unknown number have died in a series of explosions in Equatorial Guinea, the country’s health ministry says.
Images on social media showed a huge plume of smoke hanging over the main city of Bata.
State television showed people looking for survivors in the rubble and lifting up debris from collapsed buildings.
The cause of the explosions is unclear, but they came from an area near a military camp.
In a series of tweets, the health ministry asked for volunteer health workers to go to Bata Regional Hospital. It has also asked for blood donations due to the high number of casualties.
