#1 Weapons depot spontaneously exploding seems to be the usual thing in Third World countries. Or neglected fertilizer/chemicals storage reaches chemical tipping point, like in Beirut Port. Or exposed electrical wire combined with a leaking gas line....

So many possibilities, including enemy action.

#2 ....or disposal of unreliables.

#3 ^No. It's the same reason they've let a lethal virus escape their labs - cutting too many corners.

#5 Haven't heard of any recent kabooms in Persia, lately.

Perhaps they've quit reporting them.

It looks to be a in a shopping area, not a military base.
