According to the information coming from Kagan district of Bukhara, residents of the district are being evacuated again. They had once been evacuated after the explosions occurred in the nearby Soviet-time ammunition storage that was left in Uzbekistan after the Afghan war. However, after few days, they got back to their homes, as the area was reportedly cleaned of unexploded bombshells and rockets. Now, they are asked to leave their homes again. There are no official statements yet concerning the new evacuations. Rumors have spread that more powerful unexploded bombs exist.

Here are photos of the evacuation.
