DAKAR, Senegal (AA) – At least eight Malian soldiers were killed in an ambush in the Bandiagara region, the country’s military announced on Wednesday.
The Malian army said in a statement that the soldiers patrolling between the Songoiba and Yaokanda districts in the Bandiagara region were ambushed by unidentified persons.
