The recent armed assault in the capital of Mali, claimed by terrorists, marks a significant escalation in the ongoing Islamist insurgency affecting the country.
Military forces report multiple injuries and fatalities among soldiers, with over 20 receiving treatment at a major hospital after the militants attacked a military police school.
This incident signifies a troubling shift in the Islamist conflict, which had previously been limited to the north and center of Mali, now reaching the heart of Bamako.
Since the last notable attack in Bamako in 2015, the city had largely been spared the violence plaguing other regions, highlighting the seriousness of this escalation.
