38 dead in attacks on two Mali villages

Thirty-eight people have lost their lives and many others wounded in attacks on two ethnic Dogon villages in Central Mali.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks but Mali has seen a spate of massacres this year between ethnic Dogon and Fulani communities.

The terrorist attacks on Monday evening targeted the villages of Gangafani and Yoro, not far from the border with Burkina Faso.

The Malian government informed that the number of injured people is yet to be ascertained.
