Caretaker Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, on Wednesday followed up on the recent shooting incident at the US Embassy in Awkar during his meeting with Minister of National Defense, Maurice Sleem. 

Mikati also engaged in a series of communications with Lebanese Army Commander, General Joseph Aoun, and other security leaders.

The Prime Minister was briefed by relevant authorities that "the situation is under control, with intensive investigations underway to ascertain the circumstances of the incident and apprehend all those involved."

Furthermore, Mikati contacted embassy officials to inquire about the situation and the embassy staff's well-being, given Ambassador Lisa Johnson's absence from Lebanon.
