A witness shared video of the smoke billowing up in the air in the Navy Yard neighborhood of the city at about 10:40 p.m. Sunday.

Julio-César Chávez with Reuters said the explosion happened at the Navy Yard ice rink, and that it was a big enough flash that authorities want the Department of Defense to investigate.
The blast blew a hole into the ice rink and blew out a nearby glass pane. Investigators are on their way to the scene as midnight approaches.
