Blasts have been heard in Beirut a day after 12 people were killed by pager explosions across Lebanon.
Reuters has cited a security source and a witness as saying communications devices used by Hezbollah have detonated in the country’s south and in the southern suburbs of the capital.
Hezbollah’s Al Manar TV reported explosions in multiple areas of Lebanon, which were said to be the result of hand-held radios detonating.

At least one of the blasts heard took place near a funeral organised by Hezbollah for three fighters and a child killed yesterday.
In the latest wave of attacks, three people were reportedly killed in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa region, according to the country’s state news agency, Reuters reported, adding that hundreds had been injured.
Many of the wounds suffered in Wednesday’s explosions were to the stomach and hands, it was reported.
This comes after nearly 3,000 people were injured and 12 killed by pager explosions in Lebanon on Tuesday.
Two children were said to be among the dead, according to Lebanese health minister Firas Abiad.
The latest blasts come as Lebanon is still reeling from yesterday’s pager explosions which Hezbollah alleged were part of a complex Israeli operation.
While the Iran-backed militant group and Hamas both claimed Israel was behind it, the country has yet to comment.
