Six UN peacekeepers in
northern Mali have been injured when the vehicle they were travelling in hit an
improvised explosive device.
The UN mission in
Mali, Minusma, says in a statement that there was a similar incident yesterday,
but no-one was hurt.
It adds that these
"criminal and cowardly acts are perpetrated almost daily" and their
"sole purpose is to destabilise the country and undermine the peace
process".
Last month at least
five UN peacekeepers were killed in a mortar attack on their base in Kidal.
Minusma is part of an
effort to ensure security in the country after Islamist militants were beaten
back in 2013.
