UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed alarm at the recent series of communications device explosions in Lebanon. The explosions occurred on two consecutive days, prompting concerns about potential escalation in the region.
Guterres' spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, emphasized the need for all parties involved to exercise maximum restraint to prevent further escalation. The UN chief warned of the risks associated with the explosions and called for measures to avoid any further escalation.
During a briefing, Guterres highlighted the possibility that the explosions were part of a pre-emptive strike before a major military operation. He stressed the importance of taking steps to prevent any further incidents that could exacerbate tensions in the region.
The UN Secretary-General's statements underscore the urgent need for de-escalation and diplomatic efforts to address the situation in Lebanon. The international community will be closely monitoring developments in the region to prevent any further escalation of conflict.
