Explosion/fire left 19 dead, including 15 women & 4 men, and 14 injured.
Locals ask could this have been a deliberate act to take attention away from the recent missile site explosion?

Locals say the blaze (seen in previous videos) have been contained but there are still fires in the hospital's basement.
This footage appears to be people attempting to escape the facility through a large window. pic.twitter.com/WJ6joHO7Xt
