March_2015_Kidal_attack
More than 30 rockets and shells struck a MINUSMA base in Kidal, northern Mali, early on 8 March 2015. One United Nations peacekeeper from Chad was killed, as were two Malian children killed when a shell fell on a nearby camp of Tuareg and Arab nomads, according to the UN.[1] Eleven more peacekeepers and three more civilians were reportedly injured.[2] The rockets and shells were apparently launched from both the north and the south of the base.[3] It was not immediately clear who carried out the attack, but Islamist militants active in the area[4] or Tuareg separatists[5] were suspected.
