The Malian military government has reported that it thwarted a terrorist attack in the capital, adding the situation is under control, as operations continue.
Witnesses reported gunshots and explosions as a group of terrorists attempted to infiltrate the Faladie gendarmerie school on Tuesday morning, leading to army mopping-up operations.
The military's response saw the closure of Bamako's Modibo Keita international airport temporarily, highlighting the unrest affecting both local and international safety.
Since the 2021 coup, Mali faces armed rebel groups' constant threat, which prompted a pivot from European partners to seeking support from Russia and Wagner.
