    Armenian acid spill kills one, injures seven


    YEREVAN, June 30 (Reuters) - An explosion at an Armenian power station
    released 9.5 tonnes of toxic sulphuric acid on Wednesday, killing one
    person and injuring seven, an Emergencies Ministry official said.

    The explosion struck an acid storage tank at the power station at 1540
    GMT. It was unclear how much damage the acid had done to the area or
    the facility, partly owned by Russian power company Unified Energy
    System (EESR.RTS).

    The official said people who lived near the Hrazdan power station in
    the tiny mountainous south Caucasus country were not being evacuated.
