According to police, the unprecedented detonation took place after the items, which posed a threat to public safety, were discovered in a yard in the center of the country during a drugs crackdown that began in 2015.
Police say sappers who examined the fireworks compared the impact of their detonation to an explosion of one ton of TNT, saying such a blast could cause injury and damage in a radius of hundreds of meters.
