An arms cache belonging to the Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah blew up in southern Lebanon on Tuesday because of a technical error, a security source said. Hezbollah imposed a security cordon around the area of the blast in the village of Ain Qana, another security source said earlier.

Security sources said the blast had caused a number of injuries. There was no immediate confirmation of any fatalities.
