CAIRO, March 30 (Reuters) – The U.N. peacekeeping mission in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said two of its members were killed in southern Lebanon on Monday after an explosion of “unknown origin” destroyed their vehicle.

It said a third peacekeeper was severely wounded and another was also injured in the incident which took place near the Bani Haiyyan municipality.

The incident is the second in 24 hours after a UNIFIL peacekeeper was killed when a projectile exploded at one of its positions in a southern Lebanese village.
