Massive explosion in Beirut, about 30 minutes ago. Details to follow.

From another angle |

Another view. Cause still unknown. Reports are coming in of dozens of wounded with an unknown number of bodies under the rubble.

There were two blasts. The second one almost appears to come from underground. If so, it raises a question. Was something explosive being stored there? | https://twitter.com/Doranimated/status/1290678095268241410

An Israeli account on Twitter says the explosion took place in a wharehouse associated with Hezbollah/Iran’s precision guided missile project |

The aftermath, on the ground.

There were a large number of minor explosions before the major one.

Lebanese citizen injured in explosions. There were 2 major explosions, one came from above and the other from on the ground. One eyewitness saw a missile hitting the warehouse; another claims to have seen planes flying by near the time of the explosion.

This clip was taken just before and during the second explosion, from up close -- a lot closer than you would ever want to be.

Lebanon's Minister of Health, who is Hezbollah's man, said, "This is a warehouse where firecrackers exploded." So you know now, definitively, that fireworks had nothing to do with this, and Hezbollah's missile program is implicated.
