YEREVAN, Armenia, May 5 (UPI) -- A total of 144 people were injured at a political rally in Yerevan, Armenia, when helium-filled balloons exploded, causing a stampede, officials said.
Health Minister Arutyun Kushkyan said there were no major injuries at the Friday rally -- those injured mostly received burns, RIA Novosti reported Saturday.
"No one was killed by the blast in downtown Yerevan," Nikolai Grigoryan, a deputy head of the ministry's rescue service, said.
A spokeswoman for the Health Ministry said many people were injured in the panic and stampede as a result of the blast, not the explosions themselves.
The incident occurred at an electoral rally for the Republican Party of Armenia, RIA Novosti said.
