    Finnish peacekeepers come under fire in Lebanon

    While patrolling in Marak, five armored vehicles of Finnish UNIFIL peacekeepers came under fire. As a result of the incident, the rear window of one of the vehicles was damaged, and there were no casualties.

    On November 16, Finnish peacekeepers came under fire in southern Lebanon. This was reported by Yle with reference to the information of the ground forces, UNN reports.

    Details

    The publication notes that Finnish peacekeepers of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) were carrying out a planned patrol mission in Marakah, using five armored vehicles. However, on that day, the vehicles were shot at several times with pistols. As a result of the shelling, the rear window of one of the patrol vehicles was smashed.

    At the time of the incident, the peacekeepers were wearing protective gear in their armored vehicles. They reportedly immediately went to their base. The causes of the incident are currently unknown, the military added.
