The attack comes two days after the chief of staff of Mali's interim president, and three others were killed in an ambush.
Earlier on Saturday, the West African country's government said in a statement read on national television that "a terrorist attack" had been stopped by the army in Sevare.
"Three vehicles filled with explosives were destroyed by army drone fire," the statement said, without giving further details on casualties.
Separately on Saturday, the Malian army said in a statement that a military helicopter returning from a mission had crashed in a residential neighbourhood in the capital, Bamako, and that it was assessing the crash site. (Reuters)
