Powerful Explosion Rocks Beirut, Killing at Least 60, Injuring Thousands

August 4, 2020

At least 60 are dead and 2,500 injured after a massive explosion Tuesday rocked the port area of Beirut in what a Red Cross official called a “huge catastrophe.”

Much of the port was destroyed, and buildings and parked cars across the Lebanese capital were heavily damaged.

Ambulances carried the wounded away from the area hours after the blast. As night fell, the exact cause of the explosion was unknown.

A Lebanese television station said officials suspect highly explosive sodium nitrate stored at the port may have been involved. People reported seeing an orange-colored cloud hovering over the blast site. Experts say such clouds usually accompany explosions involving nitrates. https://www.voanews.com/middle-east/powerful-explosion-rocks-beirut-killing-least-60-injuring-thousands

US President Donald Trump indicated that this may have been a terroristic or military attack.

Those impacted are in my prayers.

We know that true peace will not come until after the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the Kingdom of God. And we are also to pray for that Kingdom to come (Matthew 6:10).
