At least 11 civilians were killed in a terrorist attack on a camp for displaced people in northern Mali, local media reported Wednesday.
Terrorists carried out an attack on the Kadji camp, which shelters civilians who fled their homes in the Gao region due to terrorist attacks.
Around 60,000 people in the Gao region have fled their homes due to security concerns, according to UN data.
The northern regions of Gao and Menaka have been exposed to attacks by Daesh/ISIS-linked terrorist groups since March.
The Islamic State in the Greater Sahara terrorist group carries out attacks particularly on civilians to take control of Menaka, which borders Niger and Burkina Faso.
