Flattened homes and debris after a series of blasts rocked Congo's capital. Around 200 people were killed in Brazzaville, and as many are believed to have been injured after explosions at a weapons depot in the city. Many are now destitute.

This is - this is what caused all this destruction (showing a shell). It's a bomb 21, we don't want any more of this here.
