BAMAKO, Aug 30 (Reuters) - At least 10 civilians were killed and several injured when their vehicle hit a landmine in northern Mali planted by suspected Tuareg rebels, military spokesman Colonel Abdoulaye Traore said on Thursday.

In a separate incident, one soldier was killed and several were injured when their vehicle hit a second mine, another military source said. The deaths followed three attacks this week by the rebels in the desolate mountain region near the border with Algeria and Niger.
