Scores of people are reportedly killed and several thousands more injured
after a huge explosion rocked the port area around 6 PM and sent shockwaves across the city destroying structures and buildings.
Israel was quick to release statement denying any involvement in the blast.
​Mohammed Fahmi, Lebanon's interior minister, said the explosion was apparently caused by ammonium nitrate ​that was stored in a warehouse at the port.
