The Mali army says armed groups launched coordinated attacks across the country early today, with explosions and sustained gunfire near a military base outside the capital, Bamako. Witnesses reported heavy fighting around the base and clashes in multiple regions as militants pressed a nationwide offensive. The assaults targeted Malian military positions amid ongoing instability after successive coups and a long-running jihadist insurgency. If sustained, the coordinated offensive could deepen civilian displacement and complicate regional security efforts in the Sahel.
