The explosion devastated a substantial area around the warehouse.

“I was playing with my phone inside the house then suddenly I heard a loud, thunderous noise and my whole house shook,” eyewitness Seksan Taesen, who lives 100 meters away from the warehouse, told AFP. Video shot by Seksan showed a scene of turmoil at a local market that serves the district next to the Malaysian border, with dazed locals wandering around and emergency services rushing to help.Broken glass, roof tiles and other debris litter the ground. Several market stalls were shredded or otherwise heavily damaged.
