Walkie talkies used by Lebanon's Hezbollah members exploded in the group's Beirut stronghold, with a video circulating on social media showing the chaos that unfolded during the explosion, Reuters reported quoting a source close to the group.

One of the explosions occurred during a funeral procession of a Hezbollah member who was killed yesterday in the pager blast. People can be seen scrambling for safety after a device detonated.

How many devices blew up is not known yet. There have been reports of landline telephones exploding too at various locations in East Lebanon.

Nine people have died and more than 100 have been wounded in the second wave of device blasts today, according to officials.

This comes a day after pagers exploded across the country, killing nine people and injuring more than 2,800 others, Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad confirmed.

Iran's state media also reported that its Ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was also wounded in yesterday's pager incident.

The handheld wireless walkie talkies were bought at the same time as the pagers, as per reports.

Iran-backed Hezbollah has blamed Israel for the attack. 

The group said today that it attacked Israeli artillery positions with rockets in the first strike at its arch-rival since pager blasts wounded thousands of its members.

Israel's spy agency Mossad planted explosives inside pagers imported by Hezbollah months before Tuesday's detonations, a senior Lebanese security source and another source told news agency Reuters.

Mossad has a long history of sophisticated operations on foreign soil.
