Two U.S. government workers were accidentally shot by soldiers in Eswatini during an anti-smuggling operation late Friday, according to a statement from the country’s government released Monday. The individuals sustained minor injuries, and investigations are ongoing without further details on their identities or roles. Soldiers mistook the car driven by one of the Americans for trying to evade a roadblock, leading to the shooting incident. Both Eswatini and U.S. governments are cooperating in the investigation.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
