According to news agency AP, it was not clear what caused the blast, which struck with the force of a 3.5 magnitude earthquake, according to Germany’s geosciences centre GFZ, and was heard and felt as far away as Cyprus more than 200 kilometres (180 miles) across the Mediterranean. Lebanon’s interior minister said it appeared that a large cache of ammonium nitrate in the port had detonated.

According to AP, Interior Minister Mohammed Fahmi told a local TV station that it appeared the blast was caused by the detonation of more than 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate that had been stored in a warehouse at the dock ever since it was confiscated from a cargo ship in 2014.

The news agency also stated that the blasts in Beirut, Lebanon, that took place on Tuesday are reported to be the most destructive explosion in Lebanon’s history. It has been reported that windows and doors of houses kilometres away from the port have been blown due to the explosion. Beirut’s only international airport has also been damaged and the explosion has caused mass destruction in the city.
