The Delegation of the European Union to Lebanon on Thursday disseminated a statement released by the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, saying: "Following yesterday’s series of explosions in Lebanon, I called the Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib. He briefed me on the explosion of a high number of electronic devices in many areas across the country. Thousands of people were injured - hundreds in critical condition - hospitals are collapsing.
Even if the attacks seem to have been targeted, they had heavy, indiscriminate collateral damages among civilians: several children are among the victims
I consider this situation extremely worrying. I can only condemn these attacks that endanger the security and stability of Lebanon, and increase the risk of escalation in the region.
The European Union calls on all stakeholders to avert an all-out war, which would have heavy consequences for the entire region and beyond."
