Armed groups including al-Qaeda-linked militants launch coordinated attacks across Mali, killing the defence minister and driving out Russian mercenaries.
A series of coordinated attacks by JNIM (al-Qaeda-affiliated militants) and Tuareg rebels have struck Mali, killing the defence minister and forcing Russian mercenaries from key northern areas. The attacks have raised serious questions about the survival of the military junta led by Assimi Goïta, who seized power in 2021. Analysts differ on whether the insurgents seek outright power or are pressing for concessions from the weakened regime.
