UN says 3 peacekeepers wounded in Lebanon are Indonesian

The three United Nations peacekeepers wounded in a blast in southern Lebanon on Friday were from Indonesia, UN officials say, just days after three other Indonesians were killed in separate explosions.

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) says the blast occurred inside a UN facility near El Adeisse on Friday afternoon, injuring three peacekeepers who were rushed to a hospital.

Two were seriously wounded.

UN Information Center (UNIC) in Jakarta says the “origin of the explosion” is unknown but identifies the wounded peacekeepers as Indonesian.
