A bomb blast near the Lebanese capital, Lebanon, has killed at least four people and injured 30 others.
According to a report by a foreign news agency, an explosion was heard once in the Lebanese capital Beirut, which is considered to be Paris in the Middle East, as a result of which several people were injured.
The blast occurred in a diesel tank in a building in Beirut, causing the building to collapse and killing four people.
Media reports said that after the blast, a terrible fire broke out in the building and the occupants of the apartment were trapped inside. The occupants of the building jumped from a height of several feet to save their lives.
Beirut TV station and Lebanese medical sources say 30 people, including three children affected by the blaze, are being treated in hospitals.
It may be recalled that two months ago, more than 200 people were killed and 6,500 injured in a horrific explosion at a warehouse in the port of Beirut.
The blast at the ammonium nitrate warehouse cost the Lebanese government, residents and businesses billions of dollars, as it damaged infrastructure several kilometers away.
