At least eight people have been killed and ten wounded in an explosion that rocked Beirut's seafront.

The incident occurred in the Manner neighbourhood near an amusement park and a military sporting club. The explosion is the latest in a series to hit Lebanon in the last three weeks, as Lebanese troops battle Islamic militants in a Palestinian refugee camp in the northern part of the country.
