Monday, March 17, 2008 Military Clinic
The number of the casualties climbs to 14 in the tragedy that occurred two days ago at noon in the weapons storehouse in Gerdec.
The latest blast occurred yesterday at around 13:00, but with a lower intensity and at around 15:00 a body was found under the rubble of one of the houses in Gerdec.
The units of the military engineers continue their search all over the village of Gerdec, putting red flags and sealing zones with red tape, which are the sites where the missiles have landed after being thrown in the air due to the blasts. Most of these missiles remain unexploded and pose a permanent threat for the lives of anybody who is situated in that area.
