17 hours ago 46


Hand-held radios used by Lebanese armed group Hezbollah detonated across Lebanon's south, in Beirut suburbs further stoking tensions with Israel a day after similar explosions by the group's pagers. Lebanon's health ministry said 14 people had been killed and 450 injured, while the death toll from Tuesday's explosions rose to 12, including two children, with nearly 3 000 injured. Meanwhile, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that pager blasts targeting militant group Hezbollah indicate "a serious risk of a dramatic escalation in Lebanon and everything must be done to avoid that escalation."
