Beirut: At least one person was killed while seven sustained injuries in an explosion at a scout centre near Sidon in southern Lebanon, officials told on Tuesday.
According to details, the blast demolished the building and army personnel were searching through the rubble for any further casualties, sources added.
The explosion also damaged the town hall nearby.
Sources reveal that the explosion was not an act of sabotage, without disclosing further details.
On December 10, a large blast rocked a Palestinian camp in the southern Lebanese port city of Tyre, injuring about a dozen people, according to rescue workers on scene and a Palestinian source inside the camp.
The state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported that the blast emanated from a Hamas weapons depot in the Burj al-Shemali camp and a judge had ordered security forces to launch an investigation.
