    Explosion in a fireworks factory in hearing.

    Insane blast radius. Would’ve shat myself.

    Explosions all over Iran for the last month now one in Lebanon, call me cynical but it could be a close ‘neighbour’ that’s involved.

    Not sure I’d buy the reports it was a fireworks factory, that is a massive explosion compared to previous.

    Saw it on FB and thought it looked fake but with the different uploads from different viewpoints it must be real.
    Colossal explosion. Akin to an atomic bomb!

    * *. That sonic wave was incredible. Hopefully not too many casualties, but the damage looks horrific.

    The terrifying thing about that explosion is the fact a Nuke would * all over it.

    That looks like a military scale attack. * bless the people with the * they have faced over the years. Such a very troubled state.

    edit: those cars and buses in last video were blown like leaves in a storm.

    The fireworks were definitely going off, but look closely at the video there’s a separate explosion next to it. That looked like some of Thermobaric bombs used in Yemen.

    Reporting at least 10 dead at the moment.

    There were bodies littering the street in a video I unfortunately came across, toll will be brutal.

    Tragic man.

    Had to look on news sites after I watched the video, couldn’t believe it was real. Crazy man.
