A Taiwanese firm's name appeared on Hezbollah's pagers that blew up in Lebanon, but the company says they were made by a Hungarian partner.

Taiwanese company Gold Apollo said Wednesday that it had authorized the use of its trademarked branding on the pagers that exploded Tuesday across Lebanon and Syria. But it said the devices carried by members of the Hezbollah group were actually manufactured and sold by Bac Consulting KFT — a company based in Budapest, Hungary.

A statement released by Hezbollah, a powerful Iran-backed militant group and political faction based in Lebanon, confirmed that the pager explosions had targeted their members. It laid the blame firmly on Israel, vowing a 'harsh response that the criminal enemy must await for the massacre it committed.' It remains unclear exactly how many Hezbollah pagers exploded on Tuesday.
