TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Numerous explosions rocked homes and offices in Beirut and elsewhere in Lebanon, killing and injuring many people on Wednesday.

Medical personnel are on high alert after the blasts that are linked to electronic devices, according to Tasnim’s correspondent in Beirut.  

Explosions were reported in multiple locations in Lebanon, including at the site of a funeral for a child killed in a pager explosion the previous day.

It comes a day after simultaneous explosions of pagers across the country left at least a dozen dead and thousands injured.

Media reports said that several blasts occurred simultaneously in Beirut today similar to what happened on Tuesday. Several explosions were also reported in southern and eastern Lebanon.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry said at least nine people were killed and more than 300 injured in the new wave of explosions.

Sources later told Tasnim that the number of martyrs has risen to ten and the number of those wounded in the blasts exceeds 450.

Informed sources also told Tasnim that today’s blasts were related to Icom devices and that reports of fingerprint devices and solar panels exploding are not accurate.   

Meanwhile, the Lebanese Army Command called on the people not to gather in the scenes of security incidents to allow the arrival of medical teams.

Civil defense teams are extinguishing the fires that broke out as a result of the explosions, while ambulance teams continue to transport the injured.

Thousands of pagers widely used by resistance factions and also public service workers exploded on Tuesday, leaving at least a dozen dead and around 3,000 people injured.

The Lebanese government has blamed Israel. The Hezbollah resistance movement has promised the Israeli regime will receive ‘just punishment’ for the attacks.
