Suspected Islamist militants attacked a U.N. peacekeepers’ base in the northern Mali town of Kidal on Friday, killing several people and wounding others, a spokesman for the separatist Coordination of Azawad Movements (CMA) told Reuters.

“There is gunfire and mortar fire against the MINUSMA (U.N. peacemaking mission) camp. It is an attack by the Islamists, apparently involving a suicide car bomb,” said CMA spokesman Radouane Ag Mohamed Aly.

A U.N. spokesman said there were some dead and wounded in the attack, which began at 6:45 a.m. (0645 GMT). He said there had been eight mortar shells as well as gunfire. A separate U.N. source, who was at the base but declined to be identified, said two people had been killed.
