Two Malian soldiers were killed and another six injured when an armoured vehicle hit an explosive device, the army said Sunday.
"A vehicle of the Malian armed forces hit an improvised explosive device" near the central town of Bandiagara, the military said in a tweet.
The incident follows an attack on Friday in northeastern Mali that left 49 Malian soldiers dead amid a jihadist revolt in the West African country.
