Pakistan has strongly condemned the wave of explosions in electronic devices across Lebanon, terming it “terrorism”.

Addressing a weekly briefing in Islamabad, Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said: “Pakistan strongly condemns this week’s attacks in Lebanon, carried through detonation of electronic equipments. Use of cyber and electronic means to commit terrorism in foreign countries is reprehensible.
