This article tells how militants in Timbuktu have attacked several bases while disguised as UN peacekeepers with the use of rockets and car bombs. The article says that only one has died due to this incident, but several others have been seriously injured. The UN mission has been deployed in Mali since 2013 due to the Tuareg uprising. There have been 162 UN personnel that have been killed since the start of the mission, while seven have been killed this year alone. It is unknown if and what actions will take place in retaliation of these attacks.
