Beirut, Lebanon (CNN)A massive explosion ripped through the Lebanese capital Beirut on Tuesday, injuring many people and blowing out windows in buildings across the city.
The source of the explosion was initially believed to be a major fire at a warehouse for firecrackers near the port in Beirut, the state-run National News Agency reported.
The blast sent up a huge mushroom cloud-like shockwave and damaged buildings miles from the port, including the headquarters of former Prime Minister Saad Hariri and CNN's bureau in downtown Beirut.

It seems in some angles like a new volcano explossion. it seems like it comes from the earth.
In a video taken from the sea, it looks more clear like a volcano explosion.

So far i've read it could have been 'fireworks', but that the cause is still being investigated. Visually, and i've watched a few more videos of it on Twitter, it reminds me of the massive explosion in China back in 2015:
I think this is the session referring to the explosions in China:
Added: With it being in Lebanon, i do wonder if it's in some way connected with all these explosions and fires in Iran.

There was a sott article on that incident: Was the West, Texas explosion a Meteor Impact? An update mentions there have been claims that the facility may have also had 270 tons of ammonium nitrate.
According to the Guardian:
So far more than 25 have been killed and 2,500 injured, Lebanese health minister says.
