This afternoon, a rocket—the origin of which is still under investigation—landed inside the Shama base, headquarters of the Italian contingent of UNIFIL Sector West.

There were no injuries among Italian personnel, only minor damage to a military vehicle.

Minister Guido Crosetto is in contact with the Chief of the Defense Staff, General Portolano, the Commander of COVI, Lieutenant General Iannucci, and the Commander of the Italian contingent to closely monitor the situation as it develops.

Investigations are currently underway to accurately determine the origin of the rocket and the circumstances of the incident.
