Indonesian UN Peacekeeper Dies From Wounds Sustained in Southern Lebanon Attack, UN Confirms

Another Indonesian peacekeeper serving with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has died from wounds sustained in a March 29 attack in southern Lebanon, according to a UN spokesperson.

Corporal Rico Pramudia, 31, succumbed to his injuries on April 24, 2026, after being critically wounded when a projectile struck his position near Adchit Al Qusayr in southern Lebanon during ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, said Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, at a daily briefing.

Preliminary findings from a UNIFIL investigation indicated that a shell fired from an Israel Defense Forces Merkava tank hit a UNIFIL position, resulting in the deaths of Corporal Pramudia and another peacekeeper, Corporal Rhomadhon, during the same incident.

The Secretary-General expressed his deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Corporal Pramudia, as well as to the Government and people of Indonesia, and wished a full and fast recovery to the injured peacekeepers.
