Mali: 3 dead in rocket attack on UN base in Kidal in north
Three people including a U.N. soldier were killed and 14 wounded in a rocket attack early Sunday on a UN base in Mali's northeastern city of Kidal, the United Nations mission in Mali said.
More than 30 rockets and shells hit the U.N. base in Kidal at early Sunday morning, killing a UN soldier and two civilian children, said Olivier Salgado, the spokesman for the U.N. mission in Mali. An additional 14 people were wounded. The attack came a day after a masked gunman sprayed bullets into a restaurant and bar in Mali's capital, Bamako, killing five people, including a Frenchman and a Belgian.
