Three UN Peacekeepers Injured in Southern Lebanon Explosion

The blast occurred near a marked UN vehicle amid ongoing cross-border violence between Hezbollah and Israel.

The explosion lightly injured three peacekeepers on patrol in the village of Yarine.
UNIFIL is investigating the incident and emphasized the need to protect peacekeepers and civilians.
The area has seen frequent clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli forces since October.
Lebanon's state-run agency reported nearby Israeli airstrikes around the same time.
UNIFIL's mandate is set to be renewed by the UN Security Council for another year.
