Granted the claim has to be taken with a grain of salt.. but it's in the same location.

Interesting.

They immediately blocked off 2 Kms (!) .. I'd have think if they were worried about nuclear radiation or such, they'd have it blocked off a lot more. But we'll have to wait and see I guess (and see if anyone picks up the story in the media)

That's assuming their government gives tow sh!ts about it's people. I'm not so sure it does.

Pretty sure they'll blame Israel or the US for something.

Clearing out an entire town would be a lot more conspicuous. Just let the poor locals die.
