A Malian Army spokesman says armed men have attacked an army camp in the country’s north, killing at least four soldiers and wounding another.
lt Col Diarran Kone on Tuesday would not give more details about the attack in Gourma-Rharous, about 160 kilometres south of Timbuktu.
A local official said the assailants destroyed about six armed vehicles but left after failing to take control of the camp. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to speak to reporters.
