8 people killed in two separate attacks on the UN mission in Mali
According to the UN, on Monday, a total of eight people were killed
in two separate attacks on the United Nations mission in Mali.
Seven people were killed when armed men attacked the United Nations
Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA)
headquarters in Timbuktu on Monday, according to a MINUSMA statement.
Five MINUSMA security guards, one member of the Mali National Police and
one civilian contractor working for MINUSMA were killed during the
attack.
A Malian security guard and six peacekeepers were also wounded in the
incident. MINUSMA says they "responded immediately by deploying a rapid
reaction force to secure the Mission's headquarters and attack
helicopters to track down potential attackers."
No claims of responsibility have been made, and no concrete link between the two attacks has been established yet.
