At least 15 people have died and some 500 have been injured in a series of explosions near a military barracks in Equatorial Guinea, officials say.

Sunday's blasts, in the main city of Bata, were caused by "negligence" around the storage of dynamite at the barracks, the country's president said.

Images on social media showed huge plumes of smoke and widespread damage.

The incident may have occurred after farmers burned fields surrounding the barracks, he added.

In a series of tweets, the health ministry called for volunteer health workers to go to Bata Regional Hospital and also asked for blood donations.
