The explosion comes just two days before the international tribunal investigating the killing of former Prime Minister Ragik El-Hariri, in 2005, is set to announce its decision.
The huge explosion was caused by a large blaze that erupted at a warehouse in Beirut Port, which contained firecrackers, according to primary information.
