TWENTY-EIGHT PEOPLE IN REANIMATION DEPARTMENT
- As of 01:00, May 5, 28 people out of the 154 injured during yesterday's balloon blast at Yerevan's Republic Square are in the reanimation department in different hospitals in the Armenian capital.
Ninety-eight people are still in hospital with varying burns, the Ministry of Emergency Situations reports.
As we reported earlier, an incident occurred at Republic Square on May 4 during a concert organized by the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK). Clusters of gas balloons exploded, injuring more than 154 people.
Officials blamed the explosions on a cigarette being lit near the balloons.
Despite the incident, Serzh Sargsyan went on to address thousands of people at the rally ahead of the parliamentary elections.
The balloons were decorated with the governing Republican Party's slogan "Let's believe in change".
Armenia is due to hold parliamentary elections on Sunday.
