An arms depot of the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah exploded in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, a security source said, injuring several people and sending a new shockwave across a nation grappling with a deep crisis.

The security source said the blast in the arms depot was caused by a “technical error”.

The blast sent a huge column of black smoke into the sky and rocked the village of Ain Qana, in the south of the country, a political stronghold of the heavily armed and politically powerful group which has fought wars with neighboring Israel.
