Seven Malian soldiers were killed in separate attacks on Saturday, the army said, in the latest violence in the conflict-ridden Sahel state.
Five soldiers were killed on patrol when their pick-up truck hit a road bomb near the central Malian town of Segou, about 200 kilometres (124 miles) northeast of the capital Bamako, the military said.
