Ten UN peacekeepers from Chad have been killed in an attack by suspected militants in northern Mali.
Another 25 Chadian troops were injured when the gunmen stormed the UN camp in Aguelhok early on Sunday. The UN said the attack was repelled.
Al-Qaeda’s North-African branch, Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, said it carried out the latest attack.
The UN mission in Mali was set up in 2013 to fight Islamist militias operating in the country.
Militants have regularly attacked UN and Malian troops since then.
