MALI 🇲🇱 | The JNIM has released a message on its propaganda network denouncing, according to them, the abuses by the FAMa and the Africa Corps in Tombonkouri (Bandiagara), which occurred yesterday, Wednesday, August 19.
🔶 According to them, in the morning, "the government authorities, with the help of their Russian ally," would have committed "horrific violations […] against a group of unarmed civilians," following a deliberate attack on the weekly market in the village of Tombonkouri."
🔴 This attack would have resulted in 3 deaths and 12 injuries, some of whom are in critical condition. Most of the victims would be sheikhs and elderly people.
🔹 At the end of its statement, the JNIM offers its condolences to the victims and wishes recovery to the injured.
⚠️ This communication, like others before it, aims to implicate the FAMa and their Russian allies in violence targeting civilians in northern Mali, which the group presents as intentional.
ℹ️ On the same day, the Talahandak health center, on the Algerian border, was destroyed during airstrikes attributed to the FAMa and the Africa Corps. Strikes had also targeted the Tinzaouatene area earlier in the month.

The latest rescue operations, conducted between August 18 and 19, followed a combination of intelligence-driven searches, aggressive patrols and rapid responses to terrorist activities across the Joint Operations Area.
In Isa Local Government Area of Sokoto State, troops conducting a patrol on August 19 encountered an ambush by suspected terrorists.

During the encounter, soldiers rescued five civilians who had been held by the terrorists. The victims were subsequently reunited with their families.
Troops also recovered two motorcycles abandoned by the fleeing terrorists.
In a separate operation on August 18, troops acting on intelligence concerning the abduction of three persons launched a search-and-rescue operation in Danko Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The operation resulted in the successful rescue of all three victims.
The rescued civilians were profiled before being handed over to the appropriate local authorities for further assistance and reunification with their families.
Similarly, troops responded to intelligence on terrorist activity in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State on August 18.

Two kidnapped victims were rescued during the operation.
[IsraelTimes] Iran-backed rebels claim drone attacks after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned Saudi Arabia would be ‘unable to contain’ them
Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... ’s Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... rebels said on Thursday that they targeted an airport and a facility belonging to state-owned oil giant Aramco in Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start... ’s southern Najran a city in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the border with Yemen. It is the capital of the province of the same name, a favored target of Houthi rocket forces because they can see it, so there's no math involved.... region, near the Yemeni border.
The group "successfully carried out two military operations using drones: the first targeted a sensitive Saudi enemy site at Najran Airport, while the second targeted the Aramco facility in Najran," military front man Yahya Saree said in a statement on Telegram.
Earlier on Thursday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had warned that Saudi Arabia would be "unable to contain" the Houthis as the rebels ramp up attacks on the kingdom.
Yemen, embroiled in more than a decade of civil conflict, in July became the latest country to be dragged into the Middle East war as the Houthis upended a 2022 truce with the country’s Saudi-backed government.
This week, a Yemeni minister told AFP that the Houthi rebels were plotting to seize land along the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which would allow them to further threaten the vital shipping artery. Three Houthi military sources, as well as a front man for the Yemeni government forces battling them near the waterway, also told AFP the rebels were planning to advance south from their current territory.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Several people were wounded on Friday in a sword attack at a Swedish high school.
The perpetrator was shot by the police in the leg, according to Aftonbladet newspaper.
Police were alerted to the rampage at The Brinell School in Fagersta at around 2.06pm local time.
'A call was received regarding a case of ongoing deadly violence at a school in Fagersta,' the police said in a statement.
'Police have responded to the scene and one person has been taken into custody.
'Police are continuing to work at the scene with a number of different resources.
'The public is urged to respect the roadblocks and listen to police instructions.'
The Fagersta municipality did not specify the number of wounded but said police were searching the school and that other schools in the area had been locked down.
'An assailant armed with a sword has entered Brinellskolan and wounded several people,' the Fagersta municipality said in a statement, adding the assailant had been detained by police.
Public broadcaster SVT said ambulances, police cars as well as a police helicopter were outside the school in the small city of about 12,000 inhabitants.
The motives behind the attack are still unclear.
The municipality convened a crisis meeting immediately after the incident and specially trained crisis counselors are providing support to the victims and their families.
The government is in close contact with the police following the attack, Justice Minister Gunnar Strommer said in a statement to Reuters.
'We have been informed of a serious incident in Fagersta. The police are on site and working very intensively with the incident,' Strommer said.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson responded to the attack on X, writing: 'A serious incident has occurred today in Fagersta at a school, right after the summer break.
'There are reports of injured people. We do not yet know what lies behind the act, but we know that the police are working very intensively.
Sweden has seen some high-profile attacks at educational institutions.
In February 2025, a 35-year-old man killed 10 people at an adult education centre in Orebro - Sweden's worst mass shooting. Police said it was motivated by the killer's wish to end his life because of financial and psychological woes.
In March 2022, an 18-year-old student fatally stabbed two teachers at a secondary school in the southern city of Malmo.
In 2015, two teachers and a pupil were stabbed to death in a school in the western town of Trollhattan by a masked man with a sword and a large knife. The 21-year-old perpetrator, who posed with students before starting his killing spree, was shot dead by police.
The attack, which then-Prime Minister Stefan Löfvenplace called a 'black day for Sweden', was racially motivated, authorities said. The attacker picked his victims by their skin colour, according to video evidence seen by police at the time.
'He chose dark skinned people, not white. We are convinced it was a hate crime with a racist perspective,' said Niclas Hallgren, the chief of police in Trollhättan.
'He was dressed in a way that suggested a racist background [and] video at the scene showed he acted in a military fashion. His actions and the way he looked draws the mind to the Nazis,' Hallgren told journalists.

"I too am suspicious" of some AI produced data. Perhaps I watch too many television commercials.
AI Overview
Black actors accounted for approximately 14.3% of roles in US television and digital video commercials in recent industry tracking (down from 16.5% previously), though representation figures vary substantially by market, primetime programming, and specific high-profile media events like the Super Bowl.
[Rudaw] Iraq’s top counter-terrorism body said Thursday it arrested two arms dealers in Baghdad as part of an ongoing crackdown on proliferated arms, as Iraqi officials confirm the government is pressing ahead with a broader push to bring weapons, including those held by Iran-aligned armed groups, under state control.
“Acting on precise intelligence and in accordance with judicial orders,” the Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS) said its forces “carried out a targeted security operation that resulted in the arrest of two weapons dealers” in the Iraqi capital, the agency said in a statement posted on X, alongside pictures of a large cache of seized weapons, explosives and the two detained suspects.
The CTS further reaffirmed its commitment to “carrying out its security duties with full professionalism and competence, in pursuit of a safe and stable Iraq."
The operation comes amid broader efforts by Baghdad to address the widespread proliferation of unlicensed weapons, with an estimated eight million firearms believed to be in circulation.
In early August, interior ministry Spokesman Major General Miqdad Miri said a ministry committee tasked with “regulating weapons, preventing armed displays and protecting economic prosperity” had “registered six million weapons in its database across the country” and “shut down 119 weapons shops” operating without valid licenses.
The push to curb arms proliferation also coincides with efforts by the government of Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi to bring paramilitary groups - including those aligned with Iran - and their weapons under state control.

[IsraelTimes] A Palestinian assailant was shot dead after trying to stab an Israeli soldier in the northern West Bank city o, the Israel Defense Forces says.
A terrorist armed with a knife attempted to stab an IDF soldier in the Jenin area in the West Bank, the IDF spokesperson announced on Thursday morning.
The terrorist was Fathi Khazem, father of Raad Khazem, a terrorist who had committed a mass shooting attack on Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv in April, 2022.
N12 reported that soldiers from the 890th Paratroopers Battalion had been arresting terror suspects in the area when the incident occurred. The soldiers had entered the terrorist's home in order to conduct an arrest, when the terrorist attempted to stab one of the soldiers.
DUVDEVAN ARRESTS TWO TERRORISTS, RAIDS OVER 100 SITES IN COUNTERTERROR OPERATION
IDF soldiers raided over 100 houses near Jenin and detained two terrorist during a West Bank operation, the IDF spokesperson announced on Monday.
Undercover counterterrorism commandos from the Duvdevan unit operated with intelligence guidance from the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) to detain the terrorists in the area of Kabatiya, the military added.
The two terrorists were suspected of planning and promoting terrorist plots to harm the citizens of the State of Israel and the IDF, the military said.
The IDF later came under scrutiny when Army Radio reported on Tuesday that IDF soldiers wrote numbers on the bodies of Palestinian suspects during the operation.
The military responded to the allegations, telling Army Radio "security forces marked suspects who were being interrogated as part of the operation.”
Commanders added that "the seriousness of the act was explained to the soldiers, and lessons were drawn from the matter.”
IDF INCREASED WEST BANK PRESENCE
This comes a month after The Jerusalem Post learned that the IDF increased its deployment across the West Bank to 26 battalions, adding two battalions amid a sharp escalation marked by Palestinian terrorist attacks and attacks from settlers.
The figure represents the number of battalions operating across the West Bank, not a disclosed number of soldiers.
The increase directly followed the deadly shooting near Gilad Farm.
