UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday strongly condemned Monday's attack on a World Health Organization (WHO) vehicle transporting COVID-19 surveillance samples in Myanmar's Rakhine State, his spokesman said.

The driver of the vehicle, a WHO worker, died in the attack and a Myanmar government official was seriously wounded.

Guterres called for a full and transparent investigation into the incident and for the perpetrators to be brought to justice, said Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman.
