There has been a powerful and deadly explosion in southern Beirut.

The blast was near a complex used by Lebanon's militant group Hezbollah.

As ambulances and fire engines rushed to the scene, rescuers said 14 bodies had been found. The Lebanese Red Cross said they had transported 120 injured people to hospital.

Eyewitnesses reported a number of cars destroyed and extensive damage to at least six buildings with people trapped inside by fires.

Lebanon's interior minister said it was caused by a car bomb.

The blast comes one month after a huge car bomb wounded 53 people in a nearby neighbourhood.

The area is a stronghold of Hezbollah which has been fighting alongside President Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria's civil war.
