Uma grande explosão atingiu, na tarde desta terça-feira (4), a cidade de Beirute, capital do Líbano. Segundo as autoridades locais, ao menos 30 pessoas morreram e 3.000 ficaram feridos. Ainda não há detalhes sobre o que motivou o incidente e não está claro se outras explosões aconteceram na cidade.
A explosão principal ocorreu na área portuária da cidade, onde ficam diversos armazéns.
Duas fontes de segurança e a agência de notícias estatal NNA afirmam que a origem da explosão foi justamente um armazém de explosivos na região, que antes estava pegando fogo -não há informação se o incêndio foi proposital e qual o tipo de explosivo que havia no local.
Vídeos nas redes sociais mostram uma grande nuvem de fumaça na capital e imagens de prédios destruídos.
