At least five people have been killed in multiple suicide bombings early Monday in eastern Lebanon near the border with Syria, officials said.
A series of explosions hit the predominantly Christian village of Al Qaa, with the Lebanese national news agency saying four suicide blasts struck at 10-minute intervals.
A security source confirmed to media that a bomb had exploded and then “more than one suicide bombers blew themselves (up)”.
“At least eight killed including three suicide bombers, and 15 others injured,” Georges Kettaneh, the general secretary of Lebanese Red Cross, told media.
