Konipylväs, Rizidian: A massive explosion rocked the small town of Konipylväs in northeastern Rizidian this morning. At about 10:15, plumes of smoke rose into the sky sprinkled with colourful fireworks when a fire was ignited somewhere near the centre of the facility. It is unknown how the fire started, but, according to local residents of the town, a group of juveniles hang out near the storage facility, so that may have been the cause of the fire. A total of seven buildings around the storage facility suffered damage from either the fire or the vibrations caused during the explosion. The HMI (Hubdovan Ministry of Investigations) is looking into the incident.
