Five soldiers killed in Mali roadside attack
2020-01-07
[Al Jazeera] Five Malian soldiers have been killed in a roadside kaboom, a government front man said, in the latest attack to hit the West African country's volatile central region.

The troops were travelling in the region of Alatona, near the border with Mauritania, when their convoy hit a bomb on Monday morning, destroying four vehicles.

"Reinforcements are already in place for the operation to neutralise the enemies," government front man Yaya Sangare said on Twitter.
