Malian authorities are investigating five suspects, including three active-duty soldiers, linked to recent coordinated attacks on army bases. The attacks, claimed by an al-Qaeda affiliate and separatists, targeted the military government in power since 2020 and 2021. The defence minister was killed, and Russian forces were expelled from Kidal. The violence has escalated in northern Mali, with armed groups threatening to expand their influence. JNIM has called for a rebellion against the government and established checkpoints around Bamako. Military leader Assimi Goita assured that the situation is under control.
