“Nine FAMa soldiers died,” it said, using the acronym for the Malian armed forces.

Mali has been struggling to return to stability after Al-Qaeda-linked extremists took control of the north in early 2012, prompting a military intervention by France. The latest attacks occurred close to a location where 17 Malian civilians were killed on Tuesday when a booby-trapped corpse blew up.His parents went looking for him, found the corpse and unwittingly triggered the device.

Created in 2015, the French-backed G5 Sahel has currently mustered 4,000 out of a proposed 5,000-man force.
