Dramatic video captured explosions at a Russian military storage site in Siberia that prompted thousands to evacuate the surrounding area.

The explosions, located in Siberia’s Krasnoyarsk region, set off fires and have injured at least eight people so far, according to the Associated Press. Sirens could be heard while residents in the area attempted to flee Monday. The Russian Defense Ministry said the blasts were coming from an ammunition depot that contained “gunpowder charges for artillery shells.”
