The Guardian: Walkie Talkies exploding across Lebanon
Breaking news:Dozens reported injured as new wave of explosions across Lebanon targets Hezbollah walkie-talkies
Prior to reports of further explosions on Wednesday afternoon, UN secretary general António Guterres warned that pager blasts targeting militant group Hezbollah on Tuesday indicated “a serious risk of a dramatic escalation in Lebanon and everything must be done to avoid that escalation”.
“Obviously the logic of making all these devices explode is to do it as a pre-emptive strike before a major military operation,” he told reporters, according to Reuters.
