A ship anchoring off Beirut rammed into another amid rough seas during a storm whipping this Mediterranean country.
According to the official National News Agency (NNA), raging waves tossed a ship at the Beirut Post deeper into sea causing it to crash into another vessel. The ship, with 25 sailors and 18 workers aboard, rammed into the other off Dbayieh just north of the capital.
Strong winds have reached 11 km/p-h hitting coastal areas, causing raging waves as high as six meters, whipping beach-side areas and damaging properties and cars.
Lebanon has witnessed "yohan," the second major storm to hit the country during the current winter, following the recent one, labeled, "zaina."
