JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesia confirms that one of its peacekeepers was killed in Lebanon, where the UN force said a projectile hit one of its positions.
On Sunday, a projectile exploded near the town of Adchit al-Qusayr, killing one peacekeeping soldier yesterday, UNIFIL said.
UNIFIL said it did not know the origin of the projectile but had launched an investigation to find out.
The Indonesian foreign ministry says “indirect artillery fire” near the town of Adchit al-Qusayr killed one of its peacekeepers and wounded three others.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved family, and we wish a full and swift recovery to the injured personnel,” the ministry says.
“Indonesia is working with UNIFIL to ensure the prompt repatriation of the fallen and the best possible medical treatment for the injured.”
Indonesia strongly condemns the incident and calls for an investigation, adding that the safety and security of UN peacekeepers must be respected “at all times.”
