AIN QANA, (Lebanon): An explosion rocked a Hezbollah site in a village in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, residents said, as a source close to the militant Shia movement said it was an accident.
A resident said the blast at a house serving as “a Hezbollah centre” on the outskirts of Ain Qala had shaken the village.
Members of the Iranian-backed movement quickly cordoned off the area, an AFP photographer said.
Lebanon’s NNA news agency said damage was limited to cracks in walls and broken glass, without reporting casualties. A military source said preliminary information showed that “a Hezbollah centre containing munitions” was the source of the explosion.
The Lebanese army said it deployed a force to the site and had “initiated an investigation into the causes.”
