The devices are thought to have been planted with explosives before going off across Lebanon, killing nine people and wounding nearly 3000 others.

Three grams of explosive on a custom board, that they can detonate at will.

Kinda terrifying actually.

    i’ve seen other source stating that it was something between 30 and 60g

    give it a few days, nobody knows what is going on and only thing you can get are rumors. some people still think it was lithium battery

      I read an article saying one type of the pagers that blew up was an Apollo AP-900, which uses triple A alkaline batteries, so there’s no way a battery overload could have caused that.

      Pagers aren’t particularly big or heavy, I think it would be hard to hide that much explosive in one.
