Mali: UN says three civilians killed, two peacekeepers wounded by mine explosions
“MINUSMA [UN Integrated Multidimensional Stabilization Mission] strongly condemns such acts aimed at paralyzing operations on the ground and indiscriminately targeting the United Nations, or innocent civilians,” the Mission said in statement.
Around 12:30, MINUSMA went to the scene to find two peacekeepers wounded – one seriously – following the explosion of another mine 5 km south of the UN mission’s camp in Tessalit.
MINUSMA sent its condolences to the bereaved families and wishes a speedy recovery to its peacekeepers.
