"Over the weekend there was an incident in which one post came under fire from two unidentified individuals," Martin Nesirky said on Monday.

Unidentified attackers targeted an observation post manned by members of the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF), he stated.

The UN official added that no one, however, was injured during the incident.

On Saturday, foreign-sponsored Syrian militants freed 21 Filipino peacekeepers, who were kidnapped by them on Wednesday.
