A large explosion rocked a Hezbollah stronghold in the Lebanese capital early Tuesday, sending black smoke billowing into the sky, security officials said.

At least 38 people were wounded, a hospital official told Reuters.

Reports that one employee had been killed in the parking lot where the explosion occurred in Beirut’s southern suburbs could not be confirmed by hospital officials.

Hezbollah sealed off the site of the explosion, a shopping mall run by the group in the the Bir al-Abed district.

Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV said the blast was a car bomb inside a parking lot near an Islamic center. The station broadcast footage of a thick plume of smoke rising into the sky at the site of the blast as people rushed to take casualties to the hospital.

“I haven’t heard an explosion like this one since the 1980s(when a car bomb targeted Hezbollah’s late spiritual leader Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah),” a woman in southern Beirut said.
