Al-QAEDA Linked Group said that it conducted a major attack on the Malian village Boulikessi and confiscated the military base control.
Sources cited by Reuters reported that more than 30 soldiers were killed on Sunday attacks, but the authorities were not confirmed.
On Monday, the same group, JAMA’a Nusrat UL-ILAM WA AL-MUSLIMIN (JNIM), aimed at the military of the historic city of Timbuktu, and the residents reported hearing shooting and explosion.
In a statement on the attack of Sunday, Mali’s army said that he reacted actively before “withdrawal.”
“Many people fought to defend the Malian state until the last breath,” he added.
Local sources without a name told Reuters that JNIM left many casualties and “cleaned the camp.”
According to Reuters, unproven video images showed dozens of armed forces popping out of the base.
In Monday’s attack, JNIM said that fighters attacked military airports and Russian mercenaries.
Military and security sources told the AFP news agency that “they are being countered,” but the armed forces said, “Where are the city.”
A local official said that attackers arrived near the army camp, “with an explosive vehicle.”
The UN World Heritage Site, the UN World Heritage Site, was arrested by Islamic armed forces before being arrested by the Islamic armed forces in 2012, but has been attacked again in recent years.
The attack, the latest sign of the collapse of the security collapse of Mali and the larger SAHEL, came out after the US African Command warned that the efforts of various Islamic militants operated by Sahel to approach the African coastline.
At a press conference on Friday, General Michael Langley, commander of the US Commander Africa (Africom), recently warned that the attack of Lake Nigeria, the larger Sahel and Chad Basin will greatly improve the ability to smuggling and trafficking the coast.
Reuters are believed to have been killed by more than 400 soldiers by armed forces since early last month in Mali, Bourkina Paso and Niger.
