Ghana has formally asked the Commonwealth of Nations to condemn an attack on its soldiers serving as peacekeepers.
The incident occurred last Friday at the Ghana Battalion headquarters, known as Camp Obeng, in southern Lebanon.
Three Ghanaian soldiers sustained serious injuries during the attack. The soldiers were part of a United Nations peacekeeping mission.
An exchange of fire between Israeli forces and another group was ongoing at the time of the attack on the Ghanaian base. Details about the specific forces involved were provided by a named official.
Ghana's government views the attack as a serious matter involving its citizens serving the international community.
The call for condemnation highlights Ghana's commitment to the safety of its peacekeepers and the importance of UN missions.
The Commonwealth is expected to address the incident and reaffirm its support for peacekeeping operations.
