Interesting.
They only just started making ammo. For years they have only made bullets, so the only "explosives" would be primers. While they must load a lot of bullets for testing, this sounds more like a gas leak (smelting furnace) igniting, but that would not be anywhere near the ballistics tunnel. Maybe a powder bunker caught fire. What ever it was, seems like people had enough warning to get to clear.
