Lithuania says its embassy in Tel Aviv not damaged by Iran missile strike
Lithuania's embassy in Israel was not damaged when an Iranian missile struck Tel Aviv's Ramat Gan neighborhood, the Lithuanian foreign ministry said on Thursday.
'The ambassador has confirmed that the embassy is not damaged, but the strike hit buildings 200 meters from the embassy,' a ministry spokesperson said.
Austria also said that its embassy in Tel Aviv was not affected after the Iranian missile, according to a foreign ministry spokesperson.
A senior Kenyan official said that foreign diplomatic missions must be protected by both Iran and Israel after the Iranian strike on Ramat Gan area hit within several hundred meters of the East African country's embassy.
'Foreign missions are inviolable under international law and must be excluded and protected from armed conflict at all times,' Korir Sing'Oei, the principal secretary at Kenya's foreign affairs ministry, told Reuters.
Sing'Oei also shared a message from Kenya's ambassador to Israel saying embassy staff had been working from home and were safe.
