Three Bangladeshi peacekeepers have received injuries in the northwest of the Central African Republic (CAR) as a landmine exploded in Bohong on Friday, the UN mission in the country said Saturday.
This is the fourth time that the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) peacekeepers have fallen victim to explosive devices detonating beneath UN vehicles, reports AP.
Earlier, three Tanzanian peacekeepers were injured in a similar incident in the southwest of the country Thursday. Mankeur Ndiaye, special representative of the secretary-general and head of MINUSCA, wished a prompt recovery to the six peacekeepers from Bangladesh and Tanzania wounded on Thursday and Friday.
The Mission chief strongly condemned the use of unidentified device explosives by armed groups in the Central African Republic.
