Blasts have been heard in Beirut a day after 12 people were killed by pager explosions across Lebanon.
Reuters has cited a security source and a witness as saying communications devices used by Hezbollah have detonated in the country's south and in the southern suburbs of the capital. Hezbollah's Al Manar TV reported explosions in multiple areas of Lebanon, which it said were the result of walkie-talkies detonating.
In the latest wave of attacks, three people were reportedly killed in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa region, according to the country's state news agency, Reuters reported, adding that hundreds had been injured. This comes after nearly 3,000 people were injured and 12 killed by pager explosions in Lebanon on Tuesday. Two children were said to be among the dead, according to Lebanese health minister Firas Abiad.
