Bamako (AFP) - Two civilians were killed by stray rockets on Sunday as militants attacked a barracks used by United Nations MINUSMA peacekeepers in northern Mali, a source inside the force told AFP.

"Some rockets landed in a camp located three kilometres (two miles) from the MINUSMA camp. At least two civilians were killed," the source said.
