The attack, which has been deemed one of the deadliest in years for Mali’s military junta, resulted in the deaths of at least 50 armed forces members.
The assault on the capital struck not only a military base but also a key site where Colonel Assimi Goita, the junta leader, previously served, sending a direct message.
Claimed by the extremist group Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin, this devastating attack represents a significant escalation in the ongoing Islamist insurgency in Mali.
Despite the severe toll, the military junta has been reticent to disclose the full number of casualties, raising concerns about transparency in their communication.
