Three more bodies were found Sunday in the rubble of blasts at an army base in Bolivia, raising the death toll to six, a Ministry of Defense statement said.
The explosions occurred Friday afternoon in Viacha, a city of more than 100,000 located 30 kilometers southwest of La Paz.
According to the Ministry of Defense, the site was used to store confiscated fireworks, grenades and TNT-based explosives.
Three of the dead were soldiers, but the identities of the three bodies recovered in recent hours remain unknown, the press release said.
"The death toll from Friday's explosions at the military facility in Viacha has risen to six," it said, setting the number of the missing at 11.
Rescue workers continued to search for bodies amid the rubble Sunday.
The cause of the blasts is still under investigation, but the public prosecutor's office in Viacha has opened a probe into manslaughter and other crimes.
Evo Morales, Bolivia's first Indigenous president, who led the country from 2006 to 2019, criticized center-right President Rodrigo Paz over his handling of the disaster.
"The irresponsibility with which the government has handled this tragic event is nothing less than a war crime that warrants a complaint before the International Criminal Court," Morales said on X.
The dead include two young men serving their first year of mandatory military service, while many of the missing are conscripts aged 18 and 19.
The force of the blasts tore off roofs, sent rocks flying and uprooted trees, affecting dozens of nearby homes.
