An unusual incident occurred Sunday at the Mishmar HaNegev base in southern Israel when a bus containing only equipment caught fire. The blaze subsequently ignited ammunition, leading to explosions at the scene. Soldiers were moved away from the fire's immediate vicinity, but the base itself was not evacuated. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. Footage from the scene showed thick black smoke rising from the base, with explosions audible in the background. One soldier who documented the event remarked on the extent of the damage, stating, "A gas canister igniting inside a bus managed to cause such damage. The whole sky is black." He further described the intensity of the fire, noting the bus was completely consumed, and added that the "popping sounds are ammunition igniting. There's equipment, stuff here."
