Reasons of explosion still unknown but it occurred in a very crowded and residential street. #Lebanon #Beirut pic.twitter.com/E9AaqorDeZ
Civil defense groups are evacuating residents of the surrounding buildings - so far this seems like a gas/ fuel leak that caused an explosion. You could hear mortified people scream. I think #Lebanese had enough trauma to last a lifetime now. pic.twitter.com/4d8HevL6Jh
