A top military official said the explosion in Beirut was likely powered by highly explosive materials that had been confiscated and stored at the city's port. The blast killed at least 70 people and left thousands injured. Here's the latest:
it was receiving"thousands of calls" on its emergency line and implored people to use the line"only for critical and severe cases."
Early reports suggested the explosion was triggered by a fire at a large fireworks warehouse. Some of the video recordings show what looked to be flashes of smaller explosions before the separate and much larger blast, which generated an enormous shock wave.
