Central Mali: Nine Killed In Triple Suicide Bombing

Nine Killed In Triple Suicide Bombing In Central Mali.

At least nine civilians were killed and more than 60 injured in a triple suicide bomb attack in the central Mali town of Sevare early on Saturday, said Yacouba Maiga, a spokesperson for the regional governor.

“The blast destroyed about 20 houses in the neighbourhood. There are nine dead and about 60 wounded, all civilians,” Maiga said.

The government of the West African nation earlier on Saturday claimed that "a terrorist attack" had been thwarted in Sevare by the army.

Army drone fire destroyed three explosives-laden vehicles, it stated without providing any additional information regarding casualties.

The attack was not immediately attributed to anyone.

Images posted on social media showed the blast destroyed several structures, including a gas station, as well as injured people receiving aid.

Media outlets were unable to independently confirm the pictures.
