UN observers wounded in Lebanon not hit by 'direct or indirect fire'

The four members of the U.N.’s technical observation mission in southern Lebanon were wounded as they were carrying out a foot patrol in south Lebanon.

Andrea Tenenti, spokesperson for the U.N. peacekeeping mission UNIFIL, said its “preliminary investigation showed that the incident was not caused by direct or indirect fire onto the group of UNTSO observers and their translator.” “The investigation to determine the exact cause of the blast is ongoing,” he told Reuters.
