The United Nations peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon has said new explosions hit its headquarters on Friday morning, injuring two peacekeepers, a day after Israeli forces struck the same position.

The force, known as Unifil, said the explosions went off close to an observation tower at its headquarters in the southern Lebanese town of Naqoura.
