Translated Text: 🚨 MAJOR ATTACK UNDERWAY IN MALI 🇲🇱 🚨 Since this morning of 04/07, the cities of Anefis, Aguelhok, Gao, Sévaré, Konna, and Kenieroba are under attack. In Anefis, the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA)
An armored BTR-type vehicle, previously seized from the Africa Corps, was used by the FLA during this assault. Videos of FAMa prisoners are circulating (📽️ in comments) In Gao, fighting is ongoing, particularly around the airport. The city remains under government control. A Russian SU-24 is said to have crashed in the region. In Kéniéroba, 60 km southwest of Bamako, it’s a prison, nicknamed “the African Alcatraz,” that was attacked by JNIM. Around Sévaré, it would be the Sofara barracks, further south of the city, that suffered an attack. The attack is said to have been repelled, with numerous terrorists killed. (📽️ in comments). Meanwhile, in Konna, 60km north of Sévaré, clashes were reported late morning. In Aguelhok, the area is being bombed by JNIM and FLA, without direct confrontations. ℹ️ The entire set of these attacks has been acknowledged by the Malian government. ⚠️ The situation resembles that of April 25, where the main action takes place in Azawad, with an intent to topple the government-held strongholds, while several strategic points are attacked in the south and center of the country by JNIM to create a diversion.
