MINUSMA
The Egyptian peacekeepers, part of the UN peacekeeping mission in Mali (MINUSMA) were killed as their armored personnel carrier hit an improvised explosive device near Douentza town in central Mali’s Mopti region, the UN says.
The attack was the fifth incident to occur in the Kidal region in just one week, said the UN.
Three United Nations peacekeepers and one Malian soldier were killed and several others were wounded on Friday.
