Two soldiers were killed on Saturday when a blast shook a military barrack in Jos city, the provincial capital of Nigeria's central Plateau State.
Army spokesman Sani Usman said that the blast took place as soldiers were transporting unserviceable ammunitions.
"Some of the unserviceable ammunition exploded in the process of moving them to demolition site in the bush," he said.
"Unfortunately, two soldiers lost their lives and one sustained injuries. Normalcy has returned to the area," the spokesman said.
Army spokesman Chris Olukolade earlier told AA he has not "heard about the blast."
