Six Lebanese Soldiers Killed in Wadi Zebqine Arms Depot Blast
Primary reports from southern Lebanon confirm that six Lebanese Army soldiers were killed and others wounded after an explosion occurred inside an arms depot in Wadi Zebqine – Tyre. The blast took place while an army unit was inspecting the warehouse and working to dismantle its contents.
Military sources indicate that the cause of the explosion is still under investigation, and security forces have sealed off the area. Emergency teams have transported the injured to nearby hospitals, while army engineering units continue to secure the site to prevent additional detonations.
This incident underscores the extreme dangers faced by EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) teams in Lebanon, particularly in regions where weapons caches or remnants of past conflicts remain.
