For a second day, there were reports of communication devices exploding across Lebanon and in the southern suburbs of the capital, Beirut, according to Lebanese state media.

Lebanon’s health ministry said the second wave of blasts involving wireless devices killed at least one person and wounded more than 100. A senior Lebanese security official and a Hezbollah official, who asked to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the issue, said among the devices that exploded were hand-held radios — commonly known as walkie talkies — belonging to Hezbollah members.
