Eswatini said Monday its military forces mistakenly shot two U.S. government workers in the African country last week. 

The incident occurred during an anti-smuggling operation by the Eswatini army in the country’s northeast region. Details remain scarce, with Swaziland News reporting that the soldiers accidentally shot a U.S. diplomat at a military roadblock because they thought criminals were illegally avoiding the roadblock.
