(CNN) Four people were killed and 14 -- including five UN peacekeepers -- were injured in anti-UN violence Monday in the Central African Republic, according to a statement from the stabilization mission in the country.

It was not clear how the four people died or how serious the injuries were.

MINUSCA said it is working with authorities in the country to provide support for in-depth investigations into the circumstances of these incidents.
