Multiple explosions have occurred at the site of a funeral for three Hezbollah members and a child killed by exploding pagers the day before, according to Associated Press journalists at the scene.
The devices that detonated in a fresh wave of blasts on Wednesday were walkie-talkies, a security source told CNN.
Preliminary information suggested that there were between 15 to 20 explosions in southern suburbs of Beirut, and a further 15 to 20 blasts in southern Lebanon, the source said.
The walkie-talkies were less widely used than the pagers that blew up on Tuesday, as they had only been distributed among people organising crowds, such as funerals and marches, the source said.
“The Army Command asks citizens not to gather in areas witnessing security incidents to allow the arrival of medical teams,” the Lebanese Army warned citizens in a post on X.
Pictures taken by Reuters show emergency services responding to what appears to be further explosions in Sidon, Lebanon, on Wednesday.
A separate video captured by Agence France-Presse shows people running for cover in Beirut.
