New Delhi, Mar 30: Three United Nations observers and a translator have been wounded by shelling in Rmeish, southern Lebanon.

Lebanon's state news agency reported that an Israeli drone strike was behind the explosion, but the Israeli military denied it was responsible.

The UN mission, Unifil, said those hurt were receiving treatment and that it was investigating the blast's origin,BCC reported.

The report said that it comes after rising tensions along the unofficial Israel-Lebanon border.
