YEREVAN, Armenia - Armenia's Emergency Ministry says hundreds of
people have been injured after clusters of balloons exploded on the
central square of the ex-Soviet nation's capital.
It also said 104 of them had to be hospitalized with burns after
Friday's explosion in Yerevan, which it said was caused by a smoker
who lit a cigarette near the balloons.
The balloons were supposed to be flown at the Republican Party's
rally that drew tens of thousands of Armenians. Despite the accident,
Armenian President Serge Sarkisian addressed the rally with a speech.
The Republican Party dominates the parliament of this impoverished
Caucasus nation.
