Tuareg-led armed groups have launched coordinated attacks on five locations across Mali, including a northern town where government forces and Russian fighters are based, and a town south of the capital Bamako. The attacks, which occurred on Saturday, targeted Aguelhok, Anefis, Gao, Sevare, and Kenieroba. The separatist Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) confirmed that it attacked the northern town of Anefis in the northeastern Kidal region. Government forces and Russian troops had been deployed in Anefis following attacks on April 25 and 26, during which the FLA and a regional al-Qaeda affiliate seized control of Kidal town. The assault on Saturday marks the latest threat to Mali's military-led government, following high-profile attacks in April that targeted the airport in Bamako, killed the defense minister, and seized several army bases in the north. In Gao, a local official reported gunfire and rockets launched at a military camp before dawn, while in Sevare, explosions were heard around 5 am, though the origin remains unknown. The major prison complex in Kenieroba was also under attack, according to a prisoner in the facility. Anefis and Aguelhok, both in the north, are the last remaining locations where Mali's army maintains a presence in the Kidal region following the April attacks.
