Mali military: situation under control

The Malian Armed Forces have issued a new statement asserting that the situation is 'under control' following a series of terrorist attacks. This update comes amid a major, coordinated nationwide offensive by Al-Qaeda-linked JNIM and Tuareg separatist forces. The military's claim of control follows earlier reports of intense fighting in the capital, Bamako, and other key cities. The statement appears aimed at projecting stability as the conflict continues to unfold.
