[REGNUM] A large-scale militant offensive has unfolded in Mali against positions of government forces and the Russian Ministry of Defense's African Corps. It was orchestrated by the al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen (JNIM)*, which for several years has systematically strangled the country with an economic blockade, cutting off key fuel supply routes from neighboring Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire.
The attack is being carried out by terrorists in conjunction with Tuareg separatists from the Azawad Liberation Front (ALF), who advocate independence for the north of the republic. In 2023, they lost their main stronghold, the city of Kidal.
This is the first confirmed case of operational cooperation between the JNIM and the LF against the Malian army. Front spokesman Mohamed El Maouloud Ramadan stated that the actions had been planned for several months, with the ultimate goal being the capture of Timbuktu.
On April 25, DNIM militants attacked the military camp of Kati, the airport in the capital Bamako, and the cities of Mopti, Sévaré, and Gao. ALF leaders announced the capture of positions in Gao and Kidal. For the Sahel (sub-Saharan Africa), where jihadists and separatists have historically competed, such an alliance represents a fundamental shift in the dynamics of the conflict.
The total number of the anti-government coalition fighters was approximately 12,000 (previously, a more modest figure of 2,000 had been reported), trained by Ukrainian and European mercenaries. The Russian Ministry of Defense called the events an attempted coup.
DAY ONE: DEATH OF THE MINISTER
At 5:20 a.m. local time (7:20 a.m. Moscow time) on April 25, residents of Kati, a suburb of Bamako, heard two powerful explosions, followed by the sound of automatic gunfire. At the same time, JNIM* and ELAF militants began an offensive in various parts of the country.
Throughout the day, fighting continued in several main areas: Bamako and the government quarter in Kati, as well as areas of the cities of Gao, Kidal, Mopti and Sevare.
By the end of the first day of the attack in the capital region, the Malian Armed Forces and the Russian Afrika Korps had held the base and the presidential quarter. The airport was attacked but not captured. In the evening, gunfire resumed in the Kati area. In Gao, fighting continued throughout the day, with control of the city remaining divided between government forces, JNIM*, and the LF. Regional Governor General Moussa Traoré imposed a curfew from 7:30 PM to 6:00 AM.
By evening, the majority of Kidal's city had fallen to the LF. Malian troops and the Russian Ministry of Defense's African Corps were trapped in a former UN mission camp in the south of the city, where they maintained a perimeter defense. In Mopti and Sévaré, militants attempted to infiltrate the towns disguised as civilians, but were unsuccessful. In Mopti, jihadists killed two civilians. Localized firefights continued throughout the day.
The main event of the day was the attack on the residence of Mali's Defense Minister, General Sadio Camara. A powerful truck explosion driven by a suicide bomber destroyed the building, killing the minister. Intelligence chief General Modibo Kone and Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces General Oumar Diarra were wounded.
Camara advocated the use of force against anti-government forces and was a key figure in strengthening relations between Bamako and Moscow.
DAY TWO: DEPARTURE FROM KIDAL
On April 26, an organized withdrawal of servicemen of the African Corps of the Russian Ministry of Defense from Kidal in the direction of the village of Tessalit took place.
Shots were heard again near Kati's base in the morning. The government claimed to have the situation under complete control, but witnesses reported that DNIM* militants continued to hold positions in unfinished buildings and on the adjacent hills. By evening, the intensity of the fighting had noticeably decreased.
Also that day, the Malian General Staff reported that the airport and main military facilities in Gao were under government control. At the same time, LF leaders stated that they were holding positions on the approaches to the city and in several neighborhoods. By evening, the shooting in the region had significantly subsided. It was noted that the attackers' goal was not to capture the city, but to put pressure on the garrison and hold symbolic positions.
On Saturday, JNIM* field commanders claimed "full control" of Mopti and Bourem, but by Sunday this had not been confirmed. In Sevare, gunfire continued throughout the first half of the day.
DAY THREE: NEW OLD PLAYER
On April 27, the anti-government coalition continued fighting. JNIM* militants announced the capture of the village of Tessit in the Gao region. The local army garrison, according to the Islamists, surrendered after negotiations.
At the same time, the attackers took control of the settlements of Intakaha (west of Gao), Ber (east of Timbuktu), and Labbezanga (south of Gao).
Soon, reports appeared on social media about the movement of Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS)* militants in the Tessit area. Jihadists from JNIM* and ISGS have been fighting each other for nearly six years. The weakening of Bamako's control over the north of the country could lead to a new round of conflict between the two groups in the coming days.
Furthermore, videos of Polisario Front fighters fighting on the side of the anti-government coalition have been appearing on social media. This organization advocates for Western Sahara's independence from Morocco.
The fact is that just recently, on April 10, following talks between Malian Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop and his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita, the leadership of the West African state supported the northern kingdom's plan for autonomy for Western Sahara under its sovereignty.
At the same time, the Malian leadership withdrew its recognition of the self-proclaimed Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, where the Polisario Front is based.
Thus, four different factions are fighting against the government, three of which have become situational allies.
SAVE FROM CIVIL WAR
One of the problems facing the Malian authorities was the missed opportunity to modernize their own armed forces in a timely manner—they likely assumed that a limited contingent of Russian fighters would solve all their problems.
The Afrika Korps notes that the situation in Mali "remains difficult," and "combat operations to destroy terrorists" are underway. Russian air forces carried out several strikes on militant concentrations and camps, causing significant damage and irreparable losses. A "Syrian scenario" was avoided, the statement emphasized.
The heroism of the Russian Ministry of Defense service members these days goes beyond the standard reports, as their decisive actions played a key role in protecting civilians and preventing a humanitarian crisis in the conflict zone. Russian specialists were able to unblock important logistics routes and secure infrastructure facilities from sabotage.
This dedicated and difficult work daily confirms the status of Russians as the most important guarantor of security in the region. Russian Armed Forces soldiers are fighting to restore state control and stability in territories that have been under terrorist yoke for many years.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, armed groups attempted to seize the presidential palace in Mali's capital. Afrika Korps units thwarted the coup attempt.
Our troops are preventing the country from descending into the chaos of a full-scale civil war, but Bamako too must learn from the situation as quickly as possible.

NEW | Al Qaeda’s Sahelian affiliate JNIM launched its most coordinated and significant attacks across Mali since at least 2012 in coordination with pro-separatist Tuareg rebels and has taken control of several major towns across northern Mali.
The offensive likely aimed to seize control of northern Mali’s Kidal and Gao regions and topple the current Malian junta to put in place new national authorities that the group can heavily influence, rather than seize full control of the entirety of Mali.
The attacks seriously undermine Russia’s future presence in Mali, which could impact Russian influence across Africa.
The security vacuum in northern Mali increases the long-term transnational threat risk emanating from the region, particularly from IS Sahel Province (ISSP),

By Zagazola Makama
Troops of the Nigerian Army have intercepted 11 suspected criminals conveying materials believed to be for the production of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory.
Security sources said the suspects, comprising 10 males and one female, were arrested at about 12:59 a.m. on April 27 by troops of 176 Guards Battalion deployed at Kuchiyako.
The sources disclosed that the suspects were intercepted in a vehicle along the Kuchiyako–Tipper Garage road, allegedly loaded with IED-making materials.
[IsraelTimes] Suspect is 26th arrested over last month, after spate of synagogue and ambulance arsons; Starmer promises law against ‘malign state actors,’ amid concern Iran behind some incidents
British police said on Monday they had arrested a 37-year old man in connection with a series of attacks on Jewish-linked premises in northwest London.
The police said he was arrested "on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts and has been taken to a London cop shoppe for questioning."
"The arrest is part of an ongoing CTP London investigation into a series of attacks on premises linked to the Jewish community in north west London, an attack on a Persian-language media organization and the discovery of jars of a non-hazardous substance in Kensington Gardens," the statement continued.
Over the last month, a total of 26 people have been arrested as part of the investigation, according to police. Of those arrested, eight have been charged with arson-related offenses and one person has been convicted of arson.
The spate of arrests was triggered by an arson attack on four ambulances belonging to the Jewish-led charity Hatzola, which were located next to a synagogue in the city’s Golders Green neighborhood.
Additionally, the Finchley Reform Synagogue was targeted in an attempted arson attack earlier this month, followed by a separate attack on the Kenton United Synagogue in Harrow.
The newly founded Islamist group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI), or Movement of the Companions of the Right Hand of Islam, which has links to Iran, has grabbed credit for many of the recent attacks across Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... on American, Israeli and Jewish targets, according to SITE Intelligence Group.
Speaking at a synagogue on Thursday, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, "We have to deal with malign state actors, that will require legislation."
"It’s very important in this particular context because I’m increasingly concerned that a number of countries are using proxies for attacks in this country," he said.

The most severe antisemitic incident in Britannia last year was in October, when an attacker drove his car into people gathered outside a Manchester synagogue to mark the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur and stabbed one person to death. Another person died during the attack after being inadvertently shot by police.
[IsraelTimes] Solidarity wall in Golders Green, a heavily Jewish area, was set up in 2023, expanded after Tehran’s deadly crackdown on protests; Iran’s embassy in UK said to recruit would-be ‘martyrs’
British police said on Tuesday they were investigating a suspected arson attack at a memorial wall in the heavily Jewish neighborhood of Golders Green in London.
Footage of the wall, available on social media, showed that it bore the images of both Iranians killed by their regime during anti-government demonstrations in January and Israelis killed by the Hamas ..always the voice of sweet reason... terror group on October 7, 2023.
London’s Metropolitan Police said in a statement the investigation was being led by Counter Terror Policing, but that it was not being treated as a terrorist incident.
They said that the memorial wall was not damaged. No arrests had been made, as of Tuesday afternoon.
The suspected attack would be the latest in a spate of incidents in the UK targeting sites connected to the Jewish community or groups hostile to the Iranian regime.
These include the torching of ambulances belonging to the Jewish volunteer emergency service Hatzola in Golders Green and attacks on two London synagogues. A Persian-language news outlet critical of Tehran was also targeted.
Over the last month, counterterrorism officers have arrested more than two dozen people as they investigate the attacks.
The newly formed terror group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya, which is believed to have links to Iran, has claimed credit for some of the incidents and others in Europe.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has also suggested that state actors may be behind them.
IRAN’S EMBASSY IN LONDON SHARES ’MARTYRDOM’ PROGRAM
Separately, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday that Iran’s embassy in London has urged British-based Iranians to sign up for a controversial "martyrdom" program, prompting concern among security experts.
The embassy’s official Telegram channel called on "proud Iranian compatriots residing in Britannia" to register for the "Jan Fada" ("sacrificing life") initiative, inviting those with a "desire for the people’s defense of the land of Iran" to come forward.
A message in Persian from April 15 read, "Let us all, to a man, give our bodies to be slain; for it is better than giving our country to the enemy."
The campaign, launched last month, directs participants to register through the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s consular platform.
According to the Mail, an embassy spokesperson insisted the initiative "does not promote any form of hostility."
"Any claims or assumptions to the contrary are simply unfounded. Such biased judgments are made hastily and without proper understanding," the spokesperson said.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry, sharing the article on X, wrote: "The Iranian regime is reportedly using its embassy in the UK to recruit terrorists."
"Diplomatic cover cannot be a shield for terror activity. Acting against such missions is a necessary response to a regime that exploits diplomacy to spread violence," the post said.
Scotland Yard has not yet publicly commented on the embassy’s messaging.
Similar outreach efforts are reportedly under investigation in Australia.
[IsraelTimes] A Defense Ministry civilian contractor was killed and another was maimed by a Hezbollah drone in southern Leb ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects.... on Tuesday, the military announced, as the Iran-backed terror group continued to target northern Israel and Israeli forces in Lebanese territory.
The slain contractor, 44-year-old Amer HuJI Founded in 1984 by Fazlur Rehman Khalil and Qari Saifullah Aktar. The Bangla branch was established in 1992 with assistance from Osama bin Laden. Recruits come mostly from Deobandi madrassahs. HuJI and Fazlur Rehman Khalil are signators of bin Laden's declaration of war on civilization. rat from the northern town of Shfaram, was operating heavy engineering machinery in the Aitaroun area, close to Bint Jbeil, amid efforts to demolish Hezbollah infrastructure.
The explosive-laden first-person view (FPV) drone directly struck the excavator being operated by HuJIrat, killing him. His 19-year-old son, who worked for the same company employed by the Defense Ministry, was lightly injured by shrapnel in the incident, according to Ziv Medical Center in Safed.
Hezbollah took responsibility for the attack, claiming to have targeted an Israeli bulldozer in Bint Jbeil while it was demolishing homes. Hezbollah said that it hit the engineering vehicle with an explosive drone.
Amid the repeated drone attacks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video saying that two weeks ago, he ordered a "special project" to counter the growing threat of Hezbollah FPV drones, adding that "it will take time — but we will take care of that."
Netanyahu noted that Israeli forces destroyed a "massive Hezbollah terror tunnel" on Tuesday during operations against the Lebanese group, adding that troops are "destroying their terror infrastructure" and "killing dozens of their operatives — and there is more to come."
He also said the IDF was operating across multiple areas in Lebanon, including "south of the Litani, north of the Litani, [and] in the Beqaa Valley in northern Lebanon."
Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, Butch clutched at his other shoulder...... in Lebanon, the health ministry reported late Tuesday that an alleged Israeli strike on a Lebanese army patrol killed five people, including three paramedics, and maimed two soldiers. The Lebanese ministry said the toll was preliminary.
The strike was in the southern town of Majdal Zoun, near the coastal city of Tyre.
Israeli forces hit an army patrol that was accompanying civil defense medical teams and bulldozers during a rescue operation at the site of a previous Israeli strike, the Lebanese army and civil defense said. Some of the responders were trapped under rubble by the second strike, they said.
The IDF did not immediately comment on the incident, which was condemned by Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, who argued it was part of a pattern of Israeli attacks on rescue and emergency workers in violation of international law. Israel accuses Hezbollah of embedding itself in the civilian population, including using medical facilities and vehicles for cover.
The Western-backed Lebanese army has largely stood on the sidelines during the recent conflicts between Israel and Hezbollah, although dozens of its soldiers have been killed.
Hezbollah launched several drones at Israeli troops in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, a day after a soldier was severely wounded in a similar incident, the military said.
Interceptor missiles were fired at two suspected Hezbollah drones Tuesday morning after being spotted over areas of southern Lebanon where troops are deployed amid a ceasefire, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
Meanwhile, the IDF announced that a soldier was severely wounded and another was lightly hurt in a Hezbollah explosive drone attack the day before.
The soldiers were taken to a hospital and their families were notified, the army said.
The IDF said the attacks were “violations of the ceasefire understandings by the Hezbollah terror group.”
The Iran-backed terror group has made frequent use of small FPV drones in its attacks on Israeli troops in recent weeks.
Some of the drones are guided using a spool of fiber optic cable, which mitigates efforts to electronically jam their signal. According to military officials, the FPV drones have ranges of up to 15 kilometers.
IDF: Over 1,000 terrorist infrastructure sites destroyed by IDF troops operating under the 91st Division.
The 91st Division has been working in South Lebanon.
They included:
• Booby-trapped structures
• Weapons depots hidden inside civilian areas
• Operational sites prepared for attacks on Israeli forces
And what was found inside?
• Hundreds of weapons:
• Machine guns
• Kalashnikov rifles
• Grenades and mines
• Anti-tank missiles

🇮🇱‼️ IDF DESTROYS MAJOR HEZBOLLAH TUNNEL NETWORK BUILT WITH IRANIAN BACKING
The IDF says it uncovered and demolished two massive Hezbollah terrorists attack tunnels in southern Lebanon, built with “direct guidance” from Iran over more than a decade.
🇮🇱‼️ IDF DESTROYS MAJOR HEZBOLLAH TUNNEL NETWORK BUILT WITH IRANIAN BACKING
The IDF says it uncovered and demolished two massive Hezbollah terrorists attack tunnels in southern Lebanon, built with “direct guidance” from Iran over more than a decade.
Stretching ~2 km and reaching depths of 25 meters, the tunnels were part of a broader invasion plan to stage hundreds of operatives for attacks on northern Israel. One tunnel included 10 rooms with bunk beds and rocket-launch shafts aimed at Israeli territory.
The military says the tunnels were built “to Iranian standards” and funded by the Iranian regime. They were destroyed using 450 tons of explosives.
Underground systems in Qantara, spanning 2 km and reaching depths of 25 meters, are demolished with 450 tons of explosives; terror group continues drone attacks on troops
The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday announced it had located and destroyed two major Hezbollah tunnels in the southern Leb ...home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.... town of Qantara, which it said were constructed by the terror group with "direct guidance" from Iran.
The tunnels were built over a decade, reaching depths of some 25 meters, and were "funded by the Iranian terror regime and as part of Hezbollah’s plan to conquer the Galilee," according to the military.
The two tunnels — located near each other but not connected — spanned a total of some two kilometers in length, making it one of the longest underground systems found by the military in southern Lebanon to date.
The IDF said the tunnels were part of a larger underground network located in the towns of Rab al-Thalathin and Mays al-Jabal during the fighting in 2024.
The IDF believed the underground sites were intended by Hezbollah for use as a staging ground, where hundreds of terror operatives would arrive when called, gather equipment, and ready themselves to attack Israeli towns. Hezbollah’s invasion plans never materialized.
"One of the tunnels was recently used by operatives of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force to advance terror attacks against the State of Israel and its citizens, thereby posing a direct threat to Israeli civilians and IDF troops," the military said.

Troops of the 36th Division raided Qantara, some 10 kilometers from Israel’s border, during the current offensive against Hezbollah, following "precise intelligence" of the tunnel systems, the military said. The entrances to the tunnels were relatively hidden.
Inside the tunnels, the IDF said troops located numerous weapons and equipment that Hezbollah operatives could use to reside in the tunnels for long periods. One of the tunnels featured some 10 rooms, each with several bunk beds.
In total, the tunnels featured some 30 rooms and 30 separate shafts, including some with rocket launchers in them aimed at Israel, according to the military.
According to military officials, the tunnels were built "to Iranian standards," and Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... was directly involved in the planning and funding of the underground systems.
On Tuesday afternoon, using 450 tons of explosives, the military said it blew up the tunnels.

Large explosions were heard across the area, and the Geological Survey of Israel said the massive controlled blasts were picked up by the seismic warning system. However,
by candlelight every wench is handsome... no earthquake sirens were activated. The military told residents earlier it would ensure that the controlled blast would not set off the earthquake sirens, which has happened in the past.
Meanwhile,
...back at the hoedown, the fiddler suddenly struck a sour note. The dancing stopped abruptly. Everyone looked at Bob... Hezbollah continued its attacks on Israeli forces stationed in southern Lebanon, despite a ceasefire. The IDF said that troops were targeted several times with explosive-laden drones, which went kaboom! near the forces but did not cause any injuries.
Hezbollah claimed to have targeted Israeli forces in Qantara, where the major tunnels were razed.
