Five UN peacekeepers in Mali have been killed in the northern Kidal region in an ambush.
The convoy of the Chadian contingent hit an improvised explosive device at about 18:00 GMT on Wednesday and then came under fire from an unknown group of gunmen, the UN said in a statement.
Three others were injured during the attack.
The UN is trying to restore peace to the north, which was overrun in 2012 by jihadists and ethnic Tuareg groups.
