A second wave of exploding electronic devices across Lebanon killed at least 20 people and wounded over 450 others, the country’s health ministry said Wednesday, a day after thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah exploded in what appeared to be a deadly remote attack.
Among the scenes of Wednesday’s explosions was near the funeral for three Hezbollah members and a child killed by pagers the day before, according to Associated Press journalists at the scene.
A Hezbollah official told The Associated Press that walkie-talkies used by the group exploded Wednesday as a part of blasts heard in the capital Beirut. Reuters also reported the explosions came from Hezbollah hand-held radios, citing a security source and a witness in Lebanon.
An AP photographer in the southern coastal city of Sidon saw a car and a mobile phone shop damaged after devices exploded inside of them. A girl was hurt in the south when a solar energy system blew up, the state news agency reported.
