Hand-held radios used by armed group Hezbollah detonated on Wednesday across Lebanon's south in the country's deadliest day since cross-border fighting erupted between the group and Israel nearly a year ago, stoking tensions after similar explosions of the militants' pagers the day before. Türkiye's military exclusively uses domestically-produced equipment but Ankara had additional control mechanisms in place if a third party is involved in procurement or production of devices, the Turkish official noted.
"In the context of this incident, we as the Defence Ministry are carrying out the necessary examinations," the person added, without providing further detail.
