At least nine people were killed in the chain explosions of an Albanian ammunition dump near the capital Tirana, Prime Minister Sali Berisha said Sunday.

"Three more victims were found at the site of the blast, while one young woman was found in the rubble of her house," Berisha told reporters, revising the toll from five to nine.

"Rescue workers continue their search for possible victims," Berisha said, adding that "at least a dozen people are reported missing".
