UN observers wounded in southern Lebanon

Three United Nations observers and a translator have been wounded by an explosion in southern Lebanon, the UN peacekeeping mission said.

The UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon has expressed concern about extended Israeli shelling into the territory after three UNIFIL observers and their translator were injured by an explosion. Several Lebanese media reports blamed Israel for the incident, which they said was the result of a drone strike. But Israel said it was not responsible.
