Two powerful blasts at a military base to the west of Tehran have killed at least 27 people and wounded many more, local media reports say.

The semi-official Fars news agency carried a statement by the Revolutionary Guard Corps which said that the blasts occurred on Saturday in an ammunition depot at a base in Bidganeh, near the city of Karaj.
