A large explosion rocked the Lebanese capital of Beirut Tuesday evening local time, shattering windows in surrounding neighborhoods and wounding hundreds of people, witnesses reported.
At least ten people have been killed, according to Reuters.
A second blast took place near the residence of former Prime Minister Saad Hariri. CNBC's Hadley Gamble confirmed in a phone call with Hariri that he is unharmed. Witnesses told CNBC that the explosion had taken out all the windows in the surrounding area, and described numerous injured and bloodied people walking around "in a daze." Local media footage showed people trapped underneath rubble.
Maha Yahya, director of the Carnegie Middle East Center, posted a photo on Twitter of shattered glass with the caption: "My office at home - explosion near PM Hariri."
