The death toll from a massacre in a central Malian village rose to 134 dead, the UN said, as new video emerged Sunday showing victims strewn on the ground amid the burning remains of their homes.
An ethnic Dogon militia already blamed for scores of attacks in central Mali over the past year attacked an ethnic Peuhl village just before dawn on Saturday.
Among the victims in Ogossogou were pregnant women, small children and the elderly, according to a Peuhl group known as Tabital Pulaaku.
Graphic video obtained by The Associated Press shows the aftermath of Saturday's attack, with many victims burned inside their homes.
A small child's body is covered with a piece of fabric, and at one point an ID card is shown covered with blood.
In the capital of Bamako, visiting UN Security Council President Francois Delattre, condemned the killings as an "unspeakable attack" late Saturday.
At least 55 people were wounded and the UN mission in Mali said it was "working to ensure the wounded were evacuated."
In December, Human Rights Watch had warned that "militia killings of civilians in central and northern Mali are spiralling out of control."
