UN Mission in Ligeria (32)

VBC Security Contributor William Parker and I continue our embed with 1st Platoon, 26 Royal Victorian Regiment deployed as part of the United Nation International Support Mission in Ligeria (UNISML).

 

We arrived back to Patrol Base (PB) Kilo after 1st Platoon responded to an IED blast killing three French soldiers. The soldiers of 1st Platoon were visibly spent.

 

The next morning, as we were filming the PB came under mortar attack. We captured the moments when a mortar directly hit one of the PB’s barracks and the aftermath.

 

Three soldiers were injured, one seriously.

 

The story continues next week.
