Initial media reports said the site of the incident was the Yarmouk ammunition¹（弹药） factory.

 

"There was a very loud explosion and you can see now a huge fire," one resident told the Reuters news agency.

 

The reason for the explosions is not clear. A number of people were taken to hospital with smoke inhalation（吸入）.

 

"The authorities are controlling a fire in the el-Yarmouk military manufacturing facility," the state-linked Sudanese Media Centre said, according to the AFP news agency.

 

One of the agency's reporters said there were two or three fires across a wide area, with dense² smoke and intermittent³（间歇的） flashes of white light.

 

Abdul Rahman al-Khider Rahman, the governor of Khartoum state, told local TV an explosion had occurred at midnight.

 

"There are losses in the building and the authorities are investigating the cause. A preliminary investigation⁴ says the explosion happened in a store room," he said.

 

Mr Rahman said some people had been taken to hospitals suffering smoke inhalation but otherwise there were no casualties.
