UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday condemned a series of suicide bombings that hit Lebanon's northeast town of Qaa, which resulted in multiple deaths and injures.
Early Monday, four suicide bombers targeted the town along the Syrian border, killing at least five people and injuring 15 others. Hours later, two bombers blew themselves up outside a church in the town, injuring at least 13 people.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for Monday's attacks.
Ban encourages continuous and coordinated international support to Lebanon to protect and reinforce the country's security and stability, said a statement released by Ban's spokesperson.
"The United Nations stands firmly by Lebanon as it confronts the threat of terrorism and other security challenges," said the statement.
As a consequence of the spillover of the five-year Syrian war into Lebanon, the border area has been under the threat of extremist attacks in recent years
