The armed conflict between the Malian authorities and extremist and separatist groups began in 2012. Since then, the West African country has been in a state of crisis, mainly in the area of security and socio-economic development.
The Malian Armed Forces announced on Tuesday that at least 30 suspected
terrorists were killed following an attack on military positions in the western region of Nioro du
Sahel.
The attack, which occurred late Monday, involved a large number of terrorists who, according to the military statement on social media, infiltrated the city with the assistance of local accomplices.
"The terrorists, who infiltrated the city in large numbers with internal accomplices, attacked certain sensitive points in the city," the military said.
The statement claims the army has
regained control of the situation and recovered weapons, while minimizing civilian casualties, though no specific figures for injuries or civilian deaths were provided.
