Armed groups launched coordinated attacks across Mali on Saturday, targeting military positions in the capital Bamako, the northern cities of Kidal and Gao, and the central towns of Sevare and Mopti. The Malian army said it was fighting what it described as "terrorist groups."

Armed groups launched coordinated attacks across Mali on Saturday, targeting military positions in the capital Bamako, the northern cities of Kidal and Gao, and the central towns of Sevare and Mopti. The Malian army said it was fighting what it described as "terrorist groups."

The al-Qaeda-linked group JNIM claimed responsibility for the attacks in a joint statement with the Tuareg-led Azawad Liberation Front (FLA), which seeks an independent state in northern Mali. Analyst Ulf Laessing of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation described it as the largest coordinated jihadist attack on Mali in years.

The FLA said its forces took control of most of Kidal, a city retaken by Malian government forces and Russian mercenaries in November 2023 after more than a decade of rebel control. Fresh fighting resumed there Sunday as rebels sought to expel remaining Russian fighters.

Russia's Foreign Ministry estimated around 250 fighters attacked Bamako's airport and a nearby military base, saying the assault was repelled, and expressed "deep concern" over the events. Russia's Africa Corps, which replaced the Wagner Group under direct control of the Russian Defense Ministry, has been supporting Malian forces.

Mali is governed by a military junta led by Gen. Assimi Goita, who first seized power in a coup in 2020. In July 2025, authorities granted him a five-year presidential term renewable without an election, after the junta had previously pledged to hand power to civilians by March 2024.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the attacks and called for coordinated international support to address violent extremism in the Sahel. Mali's Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop has previously alleged that some neighboring countries and external actors were supporting armed groups operating against Mali.
