The final chunk of the ailing northern silos at Beirut's port finally collapsed on Tuesday morning, sending dust into the air amid a fire that had been burning for more than a month.

The silos, heavily damaged in the August 2020 explosion that struck the Lebanese capital and killed more than 200 people, had been falling intermittently over the past few weeks.

The southern half remains upright and the government said it would seek to stabilise the remaining silos.
