Twin Attacks on Malian Army Bases: 30 Soldiers Dead, Timbuktu Airport Hit | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Two deadly attacks have struck Mali, targeting army bases and the strategic Timbuktu airport. In Boulikessi, terrorists seized a military base, killing over 30 soldiers and taking others hostage. The following day, the airport in the historic city of Timbuktu came under heavy fire, where Russian mercenaries are stationed. Mali’s army reports killing 14 attackers and arresting 31 during the Timbuktu assault. Both attacks were claimed by the Al-Qaeda-linked group Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM). These incidents highlight the ongoing security challenges in Mali and the broader Sahel region, despite military efforts and foreign partnerships aimed at stabilizing the area.
