Exploding pagers claimed the lives of 12 people in Lebanon, including two children, the country’s health minister said, updating the toll a day after the blasts blamed on Israel, AFP reports.

On Wednesday, Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad said 12 people were killed and between 2,750 and 2,800 others were wounded, revising the toll up from nine dead.

“After checking with all the hospitals”, the toll was revised to “12 dead including two children”, Abiad told a news conference.

The dead included a girl and a boy as well as four health workers from private hospitals in Beirut’s southern suburbs who had pagers, he said.

Abiad said that “the attack was very big” with about 2,800 wounded people pouring into Lebanese hospitals “within half an hour”.
