massive explosion at an Albanian army ammunition dump near Tirana has killed at least four people and injured more than 170, including many children.
The country's prime minister says he believes there could be many dead.
The office of Prime Minister Sali Berisha says that four people have been found dead near the site of the explosion.
Earlier, Berisha said that "it seems the number of the dead is considerable."
The initial blast set off a series of explosions, and ammunition is continuing to detonate.
Some 63 people working near the site of a major explosion at an Albanian army base may have been killed or seriously injured by the blast, Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha's spokeswoman said.
"We do not know the exact number," Juela Mecani told Reuters, "but we fear the worst for the three teams, each of 21 people, working there at the time. Several were U.S. citizens."

A comment beneath the article suggests that this explosion was heard about 100 miles away in Macedonia.
That is a big bang.
