A massive blaze erupted at a store of oil and tyres in Beirut port, a short while ago, according to a military source.

This blaze came a little more than a month after a huge blast devastated the port and a surrounding residential area of the Lebanese capital, according to Reuters.

The fire erupted in the duty-free zone of the port, sending a huge column of smoke above the city. The cause of the blaze is still unclear.

Television footages show the firefighters while trying to control the blaze at the port.

It is worth mentioning that, about 190 people were killed in last month's explosion and a swathe of Beirut near the port was ruined.

The blast was caused by a huge store of ammonium nitrate that had been kept at the port in poor condition for years.
