Smoke from the disaster was visible from the coastline.
The media blamed "money-minded private militias," and scandal followed when the US was fingered as one of the organization's top clients.
In response, the Secretary of Defense publicly stated that "neither the United States nor its allies had any hand in the incident."
Reports also suggested that IAEA inspectors visited the site. However, the UN and the IAEA insist that "no such inspection took place."
Other countries among the organization's long list of clients avoided comment all together.
The casualty figure is uncertain. There are no known survivors.
However, in the moments prior to and following the incident, several unidentified military helicopters were sighted in the area.
