An explosion in south Lebanon early on Thursday was caused by a fire that spread to a cache of old munitions, authorities said. The night-time blast between the south of Lebanon towns of Houmine Al Fawqa and Roumin in the Nabatiyeh district did not cause any casualties. Videos shared on social media showed flames and smoke over the site of the blast. The state-run National News Agency said that an electricity generator caught fire and spread to a fuel tank of a house on the Izza River in Wadi Houmeen. With the state offering very little electricity because of the country’s economic crisis, communities and houses are running private generators around the clock — when fuel is not scarce. This has led to several generator fires and accidents in recent months. The NNA said the fire then blew up cluster munitions and other unexploded ordnance left over from the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war.
