Inidrect free kick taken incorrectly

Could someone please advise what the rule is if a player plays the ball twice from an indirect free kick. (I'm assuming indirect free kick the other way.)

Law 13 says that if a direct free kick is touched twice by the same player in succession then an indirect free kick is given. I cannot find what the ruling is for an indirect free kick.

Thanks in advance.

Law 13 doesnt specify for direct and indirect so we should assume that it applies to both.

If, after the ball is in play, the kicker touches the ball again before it has
touched another player an indirect free kick is awarded, if the kicker
deliberately handles the ball:
• a direct free kick is awarded
• a penalty kick is awarded if the offence occurred inside the kicker’s penalty
area unless the kicker was the goalkeeper in which case an indirect free kick
is awarded
