At least 14, including five children, have died following an explosion in a fireworks warehouse in Mexico, according to reports.
Apart from the 14 dead 22 people were injured, officials were quoted by the Independent online as saying.
The blast happened on Monday evening in a rural area of central Puebla state, Diodoro Carrasco, a senior state government official in Puebla state, told Cinco Radio.
The area is located around 200 km southeast of Mexico City.
The incident comes just five months after more than 30 people were killed and 70 injured by a similar explosion in a fireworks market at the northern edge of Mexico City.
More than a dozen children suffered 90 per cent burns.
