The Secretary-General strongly condemns the attack today in Beirut, which reportedly killed at least three civilians and wounded at least 20 others. A diplomatic vehicle from the United States Embassy in Lebanon was impacted in the bombing.

The Secretary-General deplores this act of terror and extends his sympathies to the families of those killed and injured. It is imperative that the Lebanese authorities find the perpetrators of this cowardly crime and bring them to justice.
