A series of simultaneous explosions occurred in Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of at least 9 people, including an 8-year-old girl, and injuring over 2,800 others.

According to eyewitnesses, the devices first heated up before exploding, causing widespread panic and destruction. The Lebanese authorities have reported that the explosions occurred simultaneously throughout the country, with the majority of the blasts happening in the capital city of Beirut.
