An attack on a UN convoy in northern Mali has left two civilian drivers dead.
The attack, which took place on Friday night near the city of Gao, according to the UN mission in the country Unisma, comes two days after a suicide attack in Ansongo, which killed three civiians.
At least 35 UN troops have been killed and over 140 have been wounded since July 2013.
The 9,000 strong UN peacekeeping mission in Mali (Minusma) was deployed in Mali, after France intervened in 2013 to dislodge militants who had taken control of huge swathes of land in the north of the country.
