Extremist attack kills 10 in northern Mali: sources

DAKAR: A suspected extremist attack on a convoy escorted by Malian soldiers and Russia’s Wagner mercenary group has killed 10 people, local authorities and a security source said on Saturday.
Friday’s attack took place near the northern city of Gao, they said. Mali has faced serious unrest attributed to extremists since 2012. Its military rulers have broken ties with former colonial ruler France and turned politically and militarily toward Russia.
