A massive blast at a military explosives facility in Tennessee has left several people dead and others missing, officials say.
At least 19 people are unaccounted for following the explosion, according to a local affiliate of CBS News.
Aerial video from the scene in Hickman, south-west of Nashville, shows charred debris scattered around the area and little remaining of the facility.
The explosion just before 08:00 local time on Friday was heard from miles away including in neighbouring counties, reports say.
There is a huge emergency response at the scene, with one first responder telling the Associated Press they could not enter the site initially due to continuing detonations.
