黎巴嫩首都貝魯特2750公噸硝酸銨大爆炸 增至78死近4000傷

黎巴嫩首都貝魯特市中心附近港區今天發生大爆炸,衛生部長哈山表示已造成至少78人喪生和近4000人受傷。黎巴嫩總理狄亞布表示,2750公噸硝酸銨在港區爆炸。

總統奧恩(Michel Aoun)召開最高國防委員會會議後,宣布貝魯特為災區,並建議內閣宣布緊急狀態。奧恩表示,應該宣布貝魯特進入緊急狀態兩週,並呼籲內閣明天召開緊急會議。

他在官方推特推文表示,2750公噸硝酸銨存放在倉庫6年,沒有採取任何安全措施,這是「令人無法接受的」,並矢言要讓需負責任的人面對「最嚴厲的懲罰」。

伊布拉欣表示:「似乎有一個倉庫放置多年前沒收的物質,似乎是高度易爆的爆裂物。」

黎巴嫩「國家通訊社」(NNA)和兩名安全消息人士稍早說,爆炸發生在貝魯特港區,區內有些倉庫放置爆裂物。另一名安全消息人士表示,港區內放置化學物品。

居民在社群媒體分享的畫面顯示,圓柱狀濃煙從港區升起,接著是一聲大爆炸。
