An explosion rocked the General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems' facility in Camden, Arkansas, situated approximately 86 miles south of Little Rock. Initially described as an "incident involving pyrotechnics," the company later confirmed it was indeed an explosion.
According to Berkley Whaley, a spokesperson for General Dynamics, the incident resulted in at least two injuries and one person reported missing. Emergency responders are actively engaged at the scene, and the company is fully cooperating with authorities as investigations into the cause of the explosion commence.
Production at the affected building has been halted as safety measures are prioritized. Specific details regarding the extent of injuries sustained have not been disclosed by the company at this time.
