Two soldiers wounded in armed attack in Akkar town

Two soldiers were injured Sunday in an armed attack in the Akkar area of Dahr Nassar, in an incident whose motives remain unknown until the moment.

“A patrol from the Intelligence Directorate arrested the citizen Y. M. for opening fire from an assault weapon at the military post in the Dahr Nassar area and wounding two soldiers,” an army statement said.

“The post’s guards responded in kind, which resulted in the wounding of the shooter, while the used assault weapon and its ammunition were seized,” the statement added, noting that a probe got underway under the supervision of the competent judicial authorities.
