MOSCOW Nov 23 (Reuters) - At least eight people were killed on Monday by a blast at a Russian navy arms depot, just 10 days after a series of explosions ripped apart the same arsenal, RIA news agency reported, citing the Defence Ministry.

The explosions took place at Arsenal Number 31 in the Russian city of Ulyanovsk, a city of 635,000 people about 800 km (500 miles) southeast of Moscow. (Writing by Guy Faulconbridge, editing by XXX) ((guy.faulconbridge@reuters.com, +7 495 775 12 42))
