More than 200 people were killed when 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate exploded in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on August 4 last month. The blast also displaced about 300,000 people.
There was outrage in the country as to why such a large quantity of flammable material was stored in a warehouse at the city's port, which is very close to the population.

Despite the Lebanese government's announcement of resignation, protesters are still angry and have clashed with police several times.

The Lebanese military says it found four containers of 4.3 tonnes of ammonium nitrate near the port of Beirut on Thursday.

According to the military, experts are inspecting the containers, but no further details have been released.
