WorldBolivia army base blast leaves families desperate for news of missing soldiers

The death toll from an explosion at an army base in Viacha, Bolivia, has reached three after rescuers found another body. Fourteen people remain missing, most of them 18- or 19-year-old conscripts in their first year of national service. The blast destroyed a building at an artillery regiment, damaged nearby structures and injured more than 80 people. Officials say stored fireworks exploded, while the cause remains under investigation.
