At least nine people have been killed and more than 300 others wounded by a second wave of explosions from wireless communication devices in Lebanon, the country’s health ministry says.
Media reports say walkie-talkies used by the armed group Hezbollah blew up in the southern suburbs of the capital Beirut, the Bekaa Valley, and southern Lebanon, which are seen as its strongholds.
Some of the blasts took place during funerals for some of the 12 people who the ministry said were killed when thousands of Hezbollah members’ pagers exploded across the country on Tuesday.
Hezbollah blamed Israel for Tuesday’s attack and vowed revenge. Israel declined to comment on the claim.
