Mali: Four Soldiers Killed in Attack in Nara Region

Four Malian soldiers were killed and around a dozen others were wounded when they were attacked in the west of the county, the army said Thursday.

Mali’s Armed Forces said the attack occurred late Tuesday in a region of the country where jihadists have attacked soldiers in the past.

An army “unit in the Nara region was the target of a sophisticated attack combining IED [Improvised Explosive Devices] and heavy weapons,” the army said in a statement.
