No group has said it carried out the latest attack.
It occurred near the town of Sevare, on the International Day of UN Peacekeepers. Last year, 120 UN personnel were killed in peacekeeping operations in 16 countries.
France, the former colonial power in Mali, initially intervened in January 2013 when the rebels seized the north of the country and threatened to march on the capital Bamako.
In July that year, the UN force took over responsibility for security after the main northern towns had been recaptured.
