Fuse and IUE observations of Sk-69 246, a WN 6 star to the north of 30 Dor, reveal the existence of LMC interstellar gas in at least 3 velocity components. In one of these components Fuse spectra show strong absorption by molecular hydrogen with a column density of $\log N$(H$_2)=19.6$. We investigate the physical conditions in this cloud, which is probably located near the Hii region surrounding Sk-69 246. HD and CO with column densities of ${\approx} 13.9$ and 13.0, respectively, are detected. The N (CO)-to- N (H 2 ) ratio is consistent with values found in the Galaxy. From the population of the rotational levels of H 2 we derive a gas temperature of 72 K and a radiation field $U\approx3\times 10^{-15}$ erg s -1 cm -3 at 1000 A. The fractional abundance $f=2N({\rm H}_2)/[N({\rm \ion{H}{i}})+2N({\rm H}_2)]\approx0.07$ is rather high for an $E(B-V)\la0.1$.
