In a statement attribute to his spokesperson, Secretary-General Guterres stressed that such acts \u201conly reinforce the commitment of the United Nations to support the people and the Government of Mali in their quest for peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two Chadian peacekeepers were killed and at least ten others injured when a camp of UN mission in Mali (known by its French acronym, MINUSMA) in Aguelhok, Kidal region, came under mortar attack at about 18:45 (local time) on 5 April.<\/p>\n

According to the UN mission, immediate medical evacuations were organized and the security of the camp strengthened.<\/p>\n

In a separate statement, the Security Council also denounced the attack and called on the Government of Mali to swiftly investigate the incident and bring the perpetrators to justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose responsible for these killings should be held accountable,\u201d said the 15-member Security Council, urging all UN Member States, in accordance with their obligations under international law and relevant Council resolutions, \u201cto cooperate actively with all relevant authorities in this regard.\u201d<\/p>\n

They also stressed that involvement in planning, directing, sponsoring or conducting attacks against MINUSMA peacekeepers constitutes a basis for sanctions designations pursuant to Security Council resolutions.<\/p>\n

The UN mission in Mali is one of the most dangerous, with over 160 peacekeepers having lost their lives in the country. In late February, four peacekeepers were killed when their convoy came under attack in Mopti, central Mali.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
