The death toll from an attack on UN peacekeepers in Mali has risen to four after another soldier died from his wounds, the United Nations said Thursday.
A detachment of Ivorian peacekeepers was travelling between Douentza and Timbuktu in the northwest on Wednesday when it came under fire, the UN’s MINUSMA peacekeeping mission said.
Three were killed in the attack, and “a fourth Blue Helmet has sadly died of his wounds,” MINUSMA spokesman Olivier Salgado said on social media.
