UNIFIL denounces the impact of a projectile against the force's headquarters in Lebanon

MADRID, 15 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has reported the impact of a projectile against the contingent's headquarters in southern Lebanon with no casualties reported.

A UNIFIL spokesperson, Andrea Tenenti, explained that "the Force's headquarters in Naqura was attacked by a rocket approximately an hour ago," according to the Lebanese newspaper 'L'Orient le Jour'.

"We are investigating this incident, which has caused no injuries or victims," ​​added Tenenti, who has not specified the origin of the shot.

The Minister of Defense of Spain, Margarita Robles, has had a telephone conversation with the UNIFIL commander, Spanish General Aroldo Lázaro, who has confirmed that there are no injuries as a result of the impact.

Meanwhile, the acting Prime Minister of Lebanon, Nayib Mikati, has also contacted Lázaro to inquire about the circumstances of the incident and convey his "solidarity" with UNIFIL.

Some 650 Spanish soldiers participate in the UNIFIL out of a total of 10,500 troops that the contingent has, protected by resolutions 425 and 426 (1978) of the UN Security Council, later renewed in resolution 1701 of 2006.
