Two UN peacekeepers have been killed in two attacks on two UN bases in Mali.
The UN mission in Mali said on Monday that armed fighters with rocket-propelled grenades and machineguns traveling in pickup trucks attacked a peacekeeping force base in Bir in the northern Timbuktu region.
The mission added that a few hours after the first attack, fighters launched an attack on a UN base using improvised explosive devices near the town of Mopti, central Mali, indicating that the two attacks killed two UN peacekeepers and wounded others.
