LIVE | Mali in Crisis Again: Deadly Attacks Surge as US Reacts to Russia Link Claims
Mali’s capital Bamako has been rocked by explosions and gunfire in what analysts call one of the largest jihadist attacks in years. Armed groups struck multiple locations across the country, including Gao, Kidal, Sevare and Kati, signalling a coordinated multi-front offensive. The military confirmed ongoing battles as security forces respond to the assault. Reports also suggest Russian mercenaries are engaged near key sites, highlighting the scale of the crisis. With Tuareg rebels claiming gains and fears of a renewed blockade by jihadist groups, questions are growing over whether Bamako itself is now under siege.
