Lebanon

Huge hole. Thats how rebel groups take over ... they provide protection and food to the population, and tell them “if we had been in control that explosion would not have happened.“
 
i had read that welders were in the building, or adjacent building, making repairs to doors. Started a fire.
 
The Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation International said that, according to attendees of a Higher Defence Council briefing, the fire was ignited by workers welding a door at a warehouse.[62][63] A former port worker said, "There were 30 to 40 nylon bags of fireworks inside warehouse 12 ..."[64] An American diplomatic cable on 7 August said it "remains unclear ... whether fireworks, ammunition or something else stored next to the ammonium nitrate might have been involved" in worsening the warehouse fire and igniting the ammonium nitrate
