Nine dead and 2,750 wounded after Hezbollah pagers explode

At least 2,800 people have been wounded and nine people killed in Lebanon after pagers used by Hezbollah exploded, Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad said.

Hezbollah said people were killed and wounded by "mysterious explosions" of pagers across "various Hezbollah units and institutions". 

"Hezbollah's specialised security and scientific units are currently conducting a wide-ranging investigation to determine the reasons behind these simultaneous explosions," the group said on Tuesday.
