Seven UN peacekeepers wounded in northern Mali attack

None

Seven UN peacekeepers were wounded by a blast that hit their vehicle near the airport in the northern Malian town of Kidal on Friday, the latest in a string of attacks on foreign forces.

 

A witness said the troops involved were Senegalese and the area to the east of the town had been cordoned off.

 

An investigation was underway to establish if the vehicle hit a land mine or another kind of explosive device, the UN mission said.
