A bomb exploded in a Christian area north of Beirut on Monday, wounding at least four people, Lebanese security and Red Cross sources said.

The device, placed in a plastic bag just outside a commercial center in the Zalka area, blew out the walls of the building, strewing the area with rubble, twisted metal and glass....

An explosion has rocked a commercial center in a Christian suburb north of Beirut, wounding at least five people, according to reports from the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation.

The blast went off near the Hotel Promenade in Zalka, which is also near a Starbucks cafe. However, there were conflicting reports of where the bomb had been planted.

A Lebanese civil defense spokesperson told LBC that the bomb had been planted inside a building, while a Lebanese security source said it was detonated in a parking lot adjacent to the hotel.

The blast happened just before 11 p.m. (4 p.m. ET). Video from the LBC showed army troops cordoning off the area and ambulance crews responding to the scene.

The blast appeared to have caused extensive damage to the outside walls of a building.
