Twenty people have been killed and more than 450 injured in Lebanon due to explosions from walkie-talkies, according to the health ministry. This tragedy follows a separate incident the previous day, where Hezbollah pagers detonated, resulting in 12 deaths and 2,800 injuries.


"The recent wave of enemy explosions targeting walkie-talkies has caused significant casualties, with 20 confirmed dead and over 450 wounded," the ministry stated.
