2 UN Troops killed in Mali training accident
Bamako - Arab Today
Two Dutch UN peacekeepers were accidently killed and one seriously wounded in an explosion in northwest Mali during a training exercise, the Dutch defence ministry said.
"During the accident, two of our men lost their lives," said The Netherlands' Vice Chief of Defence, Vice Admiral Rob Bauer.
"Another 23-year-old soldier was seriously wounded," Bauer told reporters in The Hague at a hastily-convened press conference after the incident in the Malian town of Kidal.
The injured man was operated on in a field hospital and then taken to a military hospital in northern Gao.
Officials with the UN mission in Mali said in a statement that "an accidental explosion of a shell caused the deaths of two MINUSMA peacekeepers during a training exercise" in Kidal.
