At least 23 people are reported dead and dozens more injured after two explosions rocked a suburb south of Beirut, in Lebanon.
The Lebanese Red Cross said the death toll is expected to rise.
The Thursday tragedy is being blamed on terrorist suicide bombers.
Two bombers detonated suicide vests on Ain el-Sekka Street in the suburb of Burj al-Barajneh, a stronghold of the Shia Hezbollah movement.
Conflict is no new thing in Lebanon. But observers say the conflict in neighbouring Syria may have worsened security and sectarian tensions in Lebanon.
