NGAt least 50 Malian soldiers were killed in an ambush by Tuareg separatists and jihadists near the northern town of Anefis, according to officials. The attack occurred as a military convoy left the area, following weeks of conflict between the Malian forces and the rebels. The Tuareg separatist group FLA and the Al-Qaeda-linked JNIM claimed responsibility for the assault. Local officials described the attack as the deadliest against the Malian army in recent years, with some soldiers reportedly executed. Russian paramilitaries accompanying the convoy were unscathed, while the Malian military admitted the convoy fell into an ambush but did not release casualty numbers. Mali remains under military rule since 2021, struggling to stabilize the country amid ongoing violence.
