Two blasts ripped through a fireworks warehouse in a shopping mall in the Armenian capital of Yerevan on Sunday, killing one and injuring at least 45 people, Armenian emergencies ministry said.

Armenian TV channel A+1 released footage showing thick grey smoke rising above a building, followed by an explosion that sent people running from the scene.

Firefighters were struggling to contain the blaze as fireworks continued detonating, complicating the search and rescue operation, TASS cited the head of the ministry's rescue service as saying.

It was not immediately clear what caused the fireworks to detonate.
