Huge explosion in Lebanese capital, Beirut
Quote:
At least 10 people have been killed in a huge explosion in the Lebanese capital Beirut, officials have said.

The country's health minister Hamad Hasan also told local news station LBC that there are a "high number of injuries" and the blast had caused extensive damage.

Footage shows the moment a building several storeys high exploded, sending a vast shockwave across the city.

Pictures showed a scene of devastation with cars upturned and emergency crews in operation in a large area around the gutted building....

Firecrackers are stored in the area where the blast occurred, local TV reported.

The cause of the blast was not immediately clear.
