BAE Systems previously reported that it could increase production of artillery ammunition eightfold.

An explosion occurred at the plant of Britain’s largest arms company, BAE Systems, in the town of Glascode in Monmouthshire. This was reported by the BBC news agency.

The incident occurred around 10:49 am in a remote part of the facility, where artillery shells were filled with explosives.

The company reported that the situation was under control and no personnel were injured.

_____________________

The BAE Systems plant where the explosion occurred was built during World War II to supply the navy. At first it was state-owned, then in the 1980s it was privatized.
Last year, BAE Systems began building facilities to produce ammunition, mortars, medium- and large-caliber artillery ammunition and tank ammunition.
BAE Systems reported that it could increase the production of artillery ammunition eightfold and plans to create its own reserve of 155-mm shells.
The Glascode site currently employs more than 500 people.

As is known, the Czech Republic accused the Russian Federation of organizing the explosion that occurred on October 16, 2014 at the weapons depots in the eastern part of the country, which killed two local residents. After 6.5 years, the leadership of the Czech government officially accused Russia of organizing this sabotage.
