Fire at Beirut port brought under control

There were no confirmed injuries, but some residents traumatised by the previous blast decided to flee the streets nearby.

The fire broke out in the shattered duty-free zone of the port, and local TV stations said companies with offices nearby had asked their employees to leave the area.

Troops closed the major road that passes near the port, diverting traffic to other areas.
