Another section of the gain silos at Beirut port collapsed on Tuesday, according to Lebanese media.
The collapse has sent a cloud of dust into the air, the state news agency NNA reported.
No injuries were reported in Tuesday’s collapse.
A large part of grain silos at the Beirut port collapsed in recent weeks as a result of a fire triggered by hot weather.
The grain silos were largely affected by Beirut port explosion in 2020, which left 214 people dead, 7,000 injured and a wide scale of destruction in the capital.
