Unidentified terrorists have attacked Bamako, the capital of Mali, with the Malian Armed Forces currently fighting the assailants. This incident is part of the ongoing major joint rebel offensive by the Al Qaeda-linked Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) and the Tuareg separatist Forces for the Liberation of Azawad (FLA), which has already reached the capital's outskirts. The attack follows recent clashes near the city's airport and the capture of positions to the north of Bamako by militant forces. The situation in the capital remains volatile as security forces respond.
