(Bamako) At least three Bangladeshi United Nations soldiers have been killed and five others seriously wounded by an explosive device that detonated as they were escorting a convoy in Mali.
The convoy was travelling between the towns of Anefis and Gao in Mali's volatile north when the vehicle the troops were travelling in hit a mine at around 07:00 GMT.

A mine hit our peacekeepers. A common enemy to soldiers and civilians. My condolences & support to victims and their families. @UN_MINUSMA https://t.co/vmvATTvqva— GeneralDeconinck (@Gen_Deconinck) September 24, 2017
