Explosion hits Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon

A large explosion hit a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, according to Reuters.

The state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported an unspecified number of deaths, but local media and civil defense workers on scene said there had been no fatalities. A security source also said fatalities had not been recorded.

The Lebanese army formed a tight security cordon around the refugee camp after the explosion.

The Lebanese government opened an investigation and an attorney was tasked to search for the cause of the blast.
