Mali hit by nationwide attacks, explosions
Bamako, Apr 25 — Mali’s army said unidentified armed “terrorist” groups launched coordinated attacks on several military positions in the capital Bamako and other parts of the country on Saturday, with fighting ongoing.
In a statement, the army confirmed that multiple locations came under attack, though it did not provide immediate details on casualties or the extent of damage, reports Al Jazeera.
Witnesses and journalists reported hearing sustained gunfire and at least two explosions near key military sites, including areas close to the country’s main airport in Bamako.
Gunfire was also reported near the main military camp in the capital, raising concerns over security in the military-ruled West African nation.
The situation remained fluid, with authorities yet to disclose further operational details as clashes continued in several places. - UNB
