Translated Text: MALI 🇲🇱 | Kamikaze Drone Attack in Sévaré Satellite images show what appear to be burn marks on the ground of the airbase, which would correspond to the various aircraft hit by the drones. (📽️ below) ℹ️ Sévaré Air Base 200 has hosted numerous aircraft from the Africa Corps and FAMa: - Bayraktar AKINCI and TB2 drones - Mi-24 and Mi-35 attack helicopters - Mi-8 and Mi-17 transport helicopters - Su-25 attack aircraft Russian 🇷🇺 elements have a dedicated area within the airport, as shown by a previous satellite photo (📸 in the thumbnail on the map below), geolocated at 14.51925, -4.075136. 🔶 The attack has not been claimed by JNIM, but is attributed to it by several sources. The group is notably known for carrying out kamikaze drone attacks without systematically claiming them. As we publish, no official communication from the Malian government or the Africa Corps confirms or denies this attack. ⚠️ The Russian-Malian base in Sévaré has suffered 3 attacks in 5 months, following the coordinated attacks of April 25 and July 4, 2026 |
