On Tuesday, an explosion was heard in the Lebanese capital. Clouds of smoke were seen rising heavily in the sky of the capital following the explosion. The bang arrived in Cyprus.

In an urgent development, a steamer caught fire off the port of Beirut after the huge explosion, and it was not known if it had passengers or workers on it.

An officer at the scene asked journalists to leave the entire port area for fear of an explosion. Many containers in the harbour seemed to have turned into rubble.
