This is a different kind of explosion that has injured thousands of people. 9 people died and more than 3000 injured, many grievously so, in Lebanon in a synchronised detonation of pagers targeting US-designated terror group Hezbollah. Iran’s state media reported that its Ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, has also been wounded in the incident.
The explosions happened at around 3:30 pm local time in Lebanon.
Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad confirmed that nine people were killed and around 2,800 wounded in the incident.
One of the Ministers said the blasts “killed nine people, including a girl”, adding that “About 2,800 people were injured and more than 200 of them critically”. The injuries were mostly on the face, hands and stomach, he further said.
