A fire broke out just outside the Sloboda munitions plant in the western Serbian city of Cacak, days after explosions rocked the facility.

The local fire brigade dealt with the fire that engulfed a forested area just outside the plant grounds. Local media reported that the residents of the area around the plant were anxious, fearing a repeat of the recent explosions, especially the blast a day earlier which injured three plant workers and forced the evacuation of dozens of local residents.

The incidents caused a group of Cacak residents to protest in front of the town hall. The Sloboda plant has been plagued with similar incidents which led to injuries and some deaths over the past 25 years.

The plant management told employees to stay away until further notice.
