Unidentified attackers opened fire on a Tunisian military patrol near the Libyan border on Wednesday, killing a soldier, the Tunisian Ministry of Defense said.
The Tunisian Ministry said in a statement published on its official website that a military patrol operating in the Remada, near the border with Libya, was carrying out its regular duties at the border buffer zone when it was suddenly subjected to gunfire from an unknown source. This resulted in the death of a soldier from the military patrol.
The statement added that local authorities, with the permission of the public prosecutor at the Military Primary Court in Sfax, have opened an investigation into the incident.
