Lebanon Walkie Talkies Blasts: Radio and some walkie talkies used by Hezbollah exploded in southern Lebanon and suburbs on Wednesday (September 18). Meanwhile, it has also been revealed that the WikiTalki that exploded is the company of Japan's iCom. The company has since clarified the same.

According to India Today, the company has issued a statement in this regard after the explosion in Lebanon. The company has clarified that the production of the model of walkie-talkie, which has exploded, was stopped by the company a decade ago. "We are investigating the matter and a detailed report will be submitted soon," he said.

What did the company say?
Icom's walkie-talkies have reportedly exploded in Lebanon. But did our company shift the WikiTalki to Lebanon? At this point, it's still hard to tell. In this case, the battery is used in the model in which the explosion occurred. This model was discontinued in 2014.

Two explosions in Lebanon in two days.
On Wednesday (September 18), a radio and some walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah exploded in Lebanon. The injured are currently being treated in hospital. Significantly, a day before this incident, on Tuesday (September 17), there was an explosion of about 1,000 pagers in Lebanon. At least 10 people were killed and more than 2,800 were injured. The explosions were mainly in the capital Beirut and towns along the Israel-Lebanon border.

According to reports, most of these pagers were smuggled into Lebanon by Hezbollah. The primary assumption is that the lithium battery in the pager exploded. But the riddle remains unsolved as to how such defective pagers can also cause such a large number of flares. Lithium is used in most modern appliances and lithium batteries are considered safe as they do not explode even in high heat. Yet tactical and technical analysts are confused as to whether the manner in which the explosions were systematically detonated could be a form of electronic warfare.
