Two U.S. Officials Injured in Eswatini Shooting

Two U.S. government personnel sustained minor injuries after Eswatini soldiers accidentally shot them during an anti-smuggling operation in the rural Maphiveni area last week. Eswatini said it was investigating and coordinating with the United States, while the State Department confirmed the affected personnel were safe but did not identify them or explain their role in the operation. The incident comes as Eswatini maintains close ties with the United States under current President Donald Trump, including through an agreement to accept deportees from the U.S.
