The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has confirmed that four Ghanaian soldiers were injured following a missile attack on the headquarters of the Ghanaian battalion serving with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in southern Lebanon.

In an update issued to the public on Sunday, March 8, 2026, the military said three of the soldiers sustained minor injuries, while one was critically wounded during the attack.

According to the statement, the critically injured soldier has successfully undergone surgery and is responding well to treatment.

The armed forces added that all four injured soldiers are currently in stable condition.

The attack also caused significant damage to the battalion’s facilities, as the accommodation of 14 officers was completely destroyed by fire following the strike.

However, GAF indicated that the affected officers have since been re-kitted, re-accommodated, and provided with the necessary support.

Despite the incident, the military assured the public that the Ghanaian contingent remains resilient and committed to its peacekeeping duties.

“The Battalion is in high spirits and morale remains high,” the statement noted.

GAF also expressed appreciation to the public for the solidarity and support shown to the troops serving abroad.

Ghana has long been a major contributor to United Nations peacekeeping missions around the world, with its troops playing key roles in maintaining peace and stability in conflict-affected regions.
