Panic broke out in the city as people recalled the explosion of large amounts of ammonium nitrate, which destroyed the port and adjacent neighborhoods on August 4. More than 190 people lost their lives and injured 6,500 people. Thousands of residents of the capital cannot return to their homes due to the destroyed houses.
A column of smoke rising from the harbor on Thursday can be seen from many parts of the city, and people immediately began calling on their acquaintances to warn them of the new danger.
The Lebanese Red Cross has announced that there is no danger of an explosion this time and that no one was injured. Only a few people inhaled the smoke.
