Scores killed and over 3,700 wounded from blast apparently caused by highly explosive material stored in Lebanese capital's port

A massive explosion ripped through the Lebanese capital Beirut on Tuesday, killing scores of people and injuring thousands.

Lebanon's Health Ministry said at least 73 people had been killed with more than 3,700 wounded, following the blast at a warehouse in Beirut's port.

Health Minister Hamad Hassan described the incident as "a disaster in every sense of the word", and warned that the death toll was likely to rise.

"The capital's hospitals are all filled with wounded people," he said.

Among those killed was Nizar Najarian, secretary-general of the Kataeb party, whose headquarters are near the port's entrance.
