The Lebanese prime minister on Friday warned that a massive grain silo risks collapse due to an ongoing fire that's expanding amid summer heat and humidity at the Beirut port where a devastating blast two years ago tore through the Mediterranean city.
A fire in one of the port's two silos has been smoldering for the past two weeks due to 800 tons of grain inside fermenting in the hot weather. The government said the fire expanded after flames reached nearby electrical cables.
