At least 25 soldiers killed in Mali militant attack
At least 25 Malian soldiers are dead and 60 more are missing after militants attacked two army outposts, the government said.
Camps in the towns of Boulkessy and Mondoro near the border with Burkina Faso came under attack on Monday.
The government says their troops killed 15 militants and have since recaptured the area, but lost a lot of equipment.
...
Mali has suffered jihadist violence and ethnic rivalries since 2012, when Islamist militants took over the north of the country and France launched its military intervention.
