Seven Mali soldiers killed in separate convoy attacks: army

BAMAKO, 01 November 2021, (TON): The army said “seven Malian soldiers were killed in two separate attacks on patrols in the centre-west of the country, the latest bloodshed to indicate violence is shifting southward into previously peaceful areas.

The army said in a statement “at around 11:20 GMT an army escort was ambushed near the town of Mourdiah, around 200 km (120 miles) north of the capital Bamako, killing two and injuring three.”

Two hours later an army truck hit a roadside bomb near Segou, around 200 km (120 miles) north-east of Bamako, killing all five passengers, the army said.

The army said “a sweep of the area where the incident took place led to the arrest of two suspects who were immediately handed over to the gendarmerie.”

Armed attacks by Islamist militants and other groups are common across vast swathes of Mali and its neighbours Burkina Faso and Niger, despite a heavy presence of international troops. Thousands of civilians have been killed and millions displaced.
