Two UN peacekeepers were injured in explosions near a watchtower in the Lebanese border town of Nakura amid the escalating Israel-Hezbollah conflict, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reported.

Du Jia, commander of the 22nd batch of Chinese peacekeeping forces in Lebanon, told China Media Group (CMG) that there are currently frequent exchanges of fire between Lebanon and Israel, which have damaged many UNIFIL battalions and injured some peacekeepers from other countries. He added that the Chinese peacekeeping forces in Lebanon are still safe and are doing their utmost to maintain peace and stability there.
