At least two soldiers have been killed and several others wounded in an attack by unidentified fighters on the headquarters of an African military taskforce in central Mali.
The assault on Friday on the G5 Sahel taskforce – a security mission composed of Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad and Mauritania – in the town of Sevare was perpetrated by an unknown number of assailants who used rockets and a vehicle rigged with explosives to attack the compound, a spokesperson for the Malian defence ministry said.
Diaran Kone, a spokesman for the Malian army, said two members of the army and two “terrorists” had been killed, according to DPA news agency. He added that four army members had also been injured and some arrests had been made.
