- 17 soldiers were killed and 35 wounded after militants attacked an army camp in Mali on Tuesday. A movement within the Peul ethnic group claimed responsibility for the attack.
- The gunmen arrived in Nampala on dozens of pickup trucks and motorcycles and took control of the city before leaving.
- “We attacked Nampala this morning to respond to the deadly attacks by the Malian army against our Peul population,” said Oumar Aldjana, the group’s secretary-general. Aldjana added that his group is not an extremist one.
