Huge Explosion Shakes Beirut in Lebanon Sparking Mass Panic

Earlier this afternoon, shocking footage of the explosion, which appeared to come from around the Lebanese capital’s port, was posted onto Twitter.

And the number of casualties is yet to be confirmed.

Filmed by a witness standing around 10km away from the blast, the mushroom-cloud explosion can be seen rocking nearby buildings, shattering windows, and demolishing everything in its path.

People can be seen wandering around, dazed and disoriented, amongst the crumbling builds and smoking rubble.

This is a developing story, and we will be posting updates accordingly.
