Yeah, I think I caught the story 5 minutes after the explosion happened. The Czech folks who run the course I went on with froggy posted it almost immediately.

Details haven't yet trickled very far into the rest of the worlds news...

Watching as it unravels - the first link I posted is updated regularly as more info comes in, although hard to read as translated from Czech
