(BBC) - An explosion at an arms depot in the Democratic Republic of Congo has killed at least 20 people, UN officials say. The explosion happened on Friday after a bolt of lightning caused a fire at an army base in the city of Mbuji-Mayi. More than 50 people were also injured and houses were destroyed, said the statement by the Monusco UN mission. The aim of the Monusco is to neutralise armed groups in DR Congo, which is struggling to recover from a war that killed millions between 1998 and 2003. Fridays blast, which occurred near the main market in Mbuji-Mayi, caused desolation in the central city, according to Monusco.
