https://goresee.com/videos/watch/bb5d9d09-75da-41b1-995b-283609913e44 Since 25 April 2026, a series of joint coordinated attacks have been carried out by Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) and Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) across multiple locations in Mali. The JNIM fighters launched attacks in Bourem, Bamako, Kati, Sévaré, Senou and Mopti. The FLA claimed control of Kidal and parts of Gao. The coordinated attacks are the largest offensive in the Mali War since the 2012 rebellion. There have been joint attacks by JNIM and the FLA in Azawadi-claimed territory, while in southern and central Mali, JNIM has acted independently. The offensive targeted government centers in Bamako and Kati, which resulted in the killing of Defense Minister Sadio Camara and injury of intelligence chief Modibo Koné, as well as Kidal, Gao, Sévaré, and Mopti. Malian troops and Russia's Africa Corps subsequently withdrew from Kidal, Aguelhok, and Tessalit in the Kidal Region; Tessit in the Gao Region; and Ber in the Tombouctou Region. The Malian government and Russia's Africa Corps described the attacks as a coup attempt that has been thwarted.
