The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said small arms fire struck one of its positions near the Israeli border, with no casualties reported among its personnel.
The peacekeeping mission, which monitors the Lebanon-Israel frontier, said it was assessing the circumstances of the incident and had reinforced precautionary measures at the affected post.
UNIFIL did not immediately attribute responsibility for the gunfire. The force regularly reports on security incidents along the volatile border, which has seen repeated exchanges of fire tied to the broader regional conflict involving Israel and Hezbollah.
The mission said it was continuing to liaise with Lebanese and Israeli authorities to clarify the circumstances and prevent further escalation.
