Large fire breaks out at Beirut port weeks after fatal blast

A store of oil and tyres at Beirut port burst into flames on Thursday but there were no immediate reports of injuries. The blaze began in the duty-free zone of the port, sending a huge column of smoke above a city still traumatised by the explosion on 4 August that killed around 190 people and injured 6,000 more. That blast occurred in ammonium nitrate that had been stored at the port in poor condition for years Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub Beirut explosion: the volunteer clearing up the wreckage of her home city – video ► https://www.theguardian.com/world/vid...
