The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, has expressed his “deepest condolences” over the death of two Indian military personnel in a violent attack in the Congo, a spokesperson of the Secretary General announced.
The attack targeted the United Nations Organisation Stabilisation Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) in Butembo, north Kivu, which has seen violence for more than a decade.
“The Secretary-General expresses his deepest condolences to the families of the fallen peacekeepers, as well as to the government and the people of India and of Morocco. He wishes a speedy recovery to the injured peacekeeper,” the spokesperson said.
