A police ammunition depot in the Czech Republic caught fire in the northern Bohemian town of Bilina, triggering a series of explosions, but no one was injured, a police spokesman said on Tuesday.

Around 150 workers in an adjacent industrial park within a radius of 500 metres of the explosion were brought to safety.

For safety reasons, the fire brigade could only start extinguishing the fire after about an hour.
