Huge Explosion at Airport Kills Boy, Injures 163 Others

A large explosion in Uzbekistan has left a 15-year-old boy dead, and at least 162 others injured.

At 2:43am local time near the Tashkent Airport in Uzbekistan, a huge explosion occurred which could be felt for 20 miles away.

The explosion occurred at a customs warehouse near the airport.

The warehouse was apparently full of electric car batteries, which appear to have triggered the blast.
