Biological Accident

In the early morning hours, an explosion at an old Soviet military base prompted a police investigation. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but the explosion uncovered a labyrinth of tunnels previously unknown. Historical records categorized the site as a simple ammunition storage depot, yet a former Latvian Army officer recalled it being a "sensitive" area suspected to hold biological weapons, including anthrax. Despite thorough record reviews showing no biological weapon storage, local officials are seeking further guidance amid rising concerns over a "dangerous accident."
