The MINUSCA strongly condemned the attack, in which a Gabonese blue helmet was also killed.
According to the UN Mission, the two United Nations peacekeepers were killed after their convoy was ambushed by members of the UPC and anti-Balaka armed groups in southern Central African Republic (CAR).
The Mission stressed that it "will work with the Central African authorities to ensure that the perpetrators and accomplices of these war crimes are arrested and held accountable for their acts."
