Series of Attacks on Malian Army Facilities

Attacks attributed to jihadists targeted several military facilities in Mali, including an army camp in the city of Kayes, according to the military and local residents.
The assaults come at a time when the country is already witnessing a surge in attacks. Issuing a statement, the Malian army said that seven of its sites were targeted in “coordinated attacks carried out early this morning,” while residents and a local politician confirmed attacks in at least four towns.
