Beirut explosion: Day of mourning after blast kills at least 70 and injures thousands
Authorities say the tragedy may have been caused by a large amount of ammonium nitrate being stored in a warehouse.
Lebanon’s prime minister has called for a day of mourning on Wednesday after a huge explosion killed at least 70 people and injured more than 3,000 in Beirut.
Video shows the moment a building exploded, sending a huge shockwave across the city that was heard and felt as far away as Cyprus – more than 125 miles (200km) away.
Pictures showed cars upturned and streets covered in shattered glass and twisted metal.
