The largest military facility in the nation, Kati, was the target of an Islamist attack on Friday, according to Mali’s ruling junta.
According to a statement issued by the authorities, the attack was repulsed, leaving seven attackers dead and eight people in custody.
“I found one! He used his weapons “Mankan Kone, a local of Kai, asserts.
Cheikh Coulibaly, a different Kati inhabitant, describes two of the prisoners.
The second suspect had other people’s ID cards on him, and there were two suspects in the pickup vehicle, according to him. One of the suspects was armed with a rifle and magazines.
Following a coordinated string of insurgent attacks on Thursday, there was an attack on the Kati barracks on Friday.
In their ten-year war, jihadi rebels affiliated with al-Qaida and the Islamic State organization have been making progress.
The majority of the attacks have occurred in northern Mali, but recently, extremists have spread to the country’s center. According to information, they may have moved closer to Bamako this month.
