BEIRUT: At least one person was killed and 100 others injured in the latest wave of explosions related to electronic devices in Lebanon, German News Agency (dpa) reported citing the Health Ministry in Beirut, on Wednesday.

A new wave of blasts was heard across Beirut’s southern suburbs and southern Lebanon earlier on Wednesday, witnesses in the area told dpa.

A source in the pro-Iranian Lebanese militia Hezbollah said wireless devices like walkie-talkies had exploded. A Lebanese security source confirmed that walkie-talkies had exploded, some of them in cars and some of which were being carried by Hezbollah members on motorbikes.

The sound of blasts coincided with Hezbollah mourning some of the people who died in Tuesday’s detonations of pagers, which killed 12 and wounded some 2,800.

“This aggression has its own punishment and retribution, and the punishment will come, God willing,” said the chairman of Hezbollah’s executive council, Hashem Sefeiddine during a funeral.

He added that Hezbollah’s chief, Hassan Nasrallah, will deliver his view on Thursday when “things will become clearer.”

“We will be facing a new pattern and a new confrontation with the enemy,” Sefeiddine said. – BERNAMA-DPA
