Translated Text: Mali 🇲🇱 | On 16/02, shortly before 5 a.m., several dozen terrorists from the Katiba Macina (JNIM) on motorcycles attacked the Kalana (Bougouni) gendarmerie. The material damage is very significant. 🔴 Fortunately, after long and violent exchanges of fire, the gendarmes had time to withdraw before the terrorists entered the barracks, and no human losses are to be deplored. 🔵 The terrorists looted the barracks, stealing a vehicle, weapons and ammunition, and setting fire to everything they could not carry away (📷 loot shown in thumbnail). ⚠️ The town of Kalana had already been targeted by terrorists on 26/12/25. Two Chinese nationals were kidnapped at a gold mining site. 🔹 Kalana is located close to the border with Guinea and not far from the border with Côte d'Ivoire. 🔸 JNIM terrorists have claimed the attack and filmed the barracks after it was set on fire (📽️ in the first comment) and a witness filmed the inside of the barracks after the terrorists had left (📽️ in the second comment). 🔹 In these sacred periods of Ramadan and Lent, let us hope for a lull in terrorist attacks.
