Walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah fighters have exploded across Lebanon, wounding at least 10 Hezbollah fighters, witnesses and security sources said.
The attack comes a day after thousands of pagers used by the group exploded, wounding nearly 3,000 people and killing a dozen, including civilians and children.
A security source has now revealed that Hezbollah purchased the portable radios five months ago, around the same time as the compromised pagers.
The latest explosions this afternoon took place in the south of the country and in the southern suburbs of the capital Beirut, a security source and a witness said.
At least one of the explosions heard occurred near a funeral Hezbollah had organized for those killed the day before.
