No fewer than 10 people has been reported dead as massive explosion rocks Beirut destroying buildings and 'leaving people covered in blood and broken glass' DailyMail Uk reports.

According to the report, medical sources told Reuters that at least 10 people was killed by the explosion, which appeared to follow a fire - the cause of which is unknown - at the port.

The report added that security sources told Reuters the blast occurred where there are warehouses housing explosives, although it was not immediately clear what caused the blast or what kind of explosives were in the warehouses.

More details will follow:

This doesn’t look like “fireworks warehouse” explosion, just remember Hizbollah AKA Irani regime holds power in Lebanon, we’ve seen similar explosions in Iran too. This must be investigated, and not by the corrupt UN.
