Shops selling mining explosives in Konongo Odumase, Ashanti Region, have exploded, leaving several people injured and possibly dead.
Reports indicate that some residents attacked personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service, pelting them with stones and forcing them to flee the scene.
It is unclear what caused the massive explosions.
In a video shared on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, sounds of explosions could be heard while residents ran helter-skelter for their lives.
