UN peacekeeper killed in Lebanon was Serbian: Ministry

A U.N. peacekeeper killed in southern Lebanon was Serbian, the country's defense ministry confirmed on Thursday, specifying that he died from injuries caused by a missile strike on the U.N. base.

"Senior Sergeant Milovan Jovanovic was given emergency medical care at a hospital inside the base after being wounded and then transported by helicopter to the University Medical Center in Beirut, where he died," the statement said.
