Blasts have been heard in Beirut a day after 12 people were killed by pager explosions across Lebanon.
Reuters has cited a security source and a witness as saying communications devices used by Hezbollah have detonated in the country’s south and in the southern suburbs of the capital.
Hezbollah’s Al Manar TV reported explosions in multiple areas of Lebanon, which were said to be the result of hand-held radios detonating.

At least one of the blasts heard took place near a funeral organised by Hezbollah for three fighters and a child killed yesterday.
In the latest wave of attacks, three people were reportedly killed in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa region, according to the country’s state news agency, Reuters reported, adding that hundreds had been injured.
Many of the wounds suffered in Wednesday’s explosions were to the stomach and hands, it was reported.
This comes after nearly 3,000 people were injured and 12 killed by pager explosions in Lebanon on Tuesday.
Two children were said to be among the dead, according to Lebanese health minister Firas Abiad.
The latest blasts come as Lebanon is still reeling from yesterday’s pager explosions which Hezbollah alleged were part of a complex Israeli operation.
While the Iran-backed militant group and Hamas both claimed Israel was behind it, the country has yet to comment.
Hezbollah security ‘taking batteries out of walkie-talkies’
Sky News special correspondent Alex Crawford is at a funeral in Beirut for four people killed in yesterday’s attacks.
She says the area is in the southern suburbs of Beirut and she heard a “small sound of something popping”.
“We came out to try and found out what the sound was and people were running. People were covered in blood,” she says.
“There was blood on a car.
“One young man was running and he was very stressed. He said a walkie-talkie – which the Hezbollah security people around here are using for the funeral – exploded.
“The Hezbollah people then gathered up all the walkie-talkies and have been taking the batteries out of them.
“Our cameraman was surrounded by very tense and angry Hezbollah security, who told him to stop filming.
“The funeral is still going ahead.”
Crawford says there is an army presence there and “a lot of people are extremely tense”.
Hezbollah is “furious” and “there is a lot of anger from ordinary Lebanese civilians” too, Crawford adds.
