Blasts have been heard in Beirut today, intensifying an already volatile situation in Lebanon. According to Reuters, a security source and a witness have reported that handheld radios, allegedly used by Hezbollah, detonated in southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of the capital.

The explosions come in the wake of rising tensions in the region and follow a series of previous incidents that have heightened concerns about security and stability. The source claims that the devices may have been tampered with or compromised, raising suspicions of external involvement.

These latest blasts are part of a broader pattern of unrest, following reports earlier this week of similar incidents involving communications equipment used by Hezbollah operatives. While the full extent of the damage and potential casualties is still unclear, local authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the detonations.

With the situation evolving rapidly, international observers are closely monitoring events in Lebanon, as fears grow about the potential for further escalation. More updates are expected as details emerge.
