Very little info has been published about the explosions at the U.S. Army’s Sagami General Depot in Japan, but daytime video of the site revealed the nighttime explosions were more visually impactful than the damage they caused.
A small corrugated steel warehouse showed one big hole in the roof, and buckling on the opposite corner, otherwise it was still intact. Japanese news media said Army representatives explained it was a warehouse storing gas cylinders and other chemicals, not the ammo depot.
Responding firefighters were ordered not to use water.
