At least 18 killed in explosions targeting Iranian embassy in Beirut
Two explosions targeting the Iranian embassy hit the Lebanese capital Beirut on Tuesday, security sources said, killing at least eighteen people and damaging buildings in the embassy compound.
It was not immediately clear whether the ambassador or any diplomatic staff were among the victims. No one at the embassy was reachable by phone.
Live footage from local news channels showed charred bodies on the ground as flames rose from the remains of several vehicles. Aid workers and residents carried away some of the victims on blankets.
It was not immediately clear what caused the blasts. A security source said the blasts were caused by two rockets fired on the area, in the southern part of the city, but a second security source said there was a car bomb explosion.
