International Probe into Lebanon Explosions Deepens

Explosions from pagers and walkie-talkies across Lebanon, resulting in dozens of deaths and thousands of injuries, have sparked an international investigation involving multiple countries. Taiwan-based Gold Apollo, accused of manufacturing the explosive devices, denies the claim, stating that the pagers were made by Hungary's BAC Consulting, which is licensed to use Gold Apollo’s brand. Bulgaria's Norta Global has also been implicated, but Bulgarian authorities deny any involvement. Israel, blamed by Hezbollah and the Lebanese government for planting explosives, has not confirmed or denied responsibility. Taiwanese and Hungarian officials stress that the components were not produced in their countries, and probes are ongoing to trace the origin and supply chain of the devices.
