A platoon of 35 NA peacekeepers were ambushed by Allied Democratic Front (ADF), a group which is rebelling against the government there.
Among the injured, one peacekeeper got hit by a bullet on his hand while others got hit on their head and legs. NA Spokesperson General Suresh Sharma said that all three are out of danger.
