Dead and wounded in a triple suicide attack on a "Russian camp" in central Mali


Attackers attacked an army camp in central Mali, local officials said, describing the site as a "Russian camp", while the attack killed at least nine civilians and injured more than 60 others.

At least nine civilians were killed and more than 60 wounded in a triple suicide attack in the town of Sevare in central Mali early Saturday morning, a local official said.

"The explosion destroyed 20 houses in the neighborhood. In all, there are nine dead and about 60 injured, all civilians," said Jacoba Maiga, spokesman for the district governor.

Earlier on Saturday, Mali's government said in a statement broadcast on state television that the army had thwarted a "terrorist attack" in Sevare.

"Three rigged vehicles were destroyed by fire from an army drone," the statement said, while photos posted by users on social media showed several destroyed buildings, including a gas station, as well as injured people receiving assistance.

According to eyewitnesses, four explosions sounded around 5:30 am local time, followed by firing from automatic weapons, while smoke was seen near the airport.

Another local official said, "The Russian camp and its planes were targeted (the camp is close to the airport). The jihadists surrounded part of the airport."

The Minusma camp covers four hectares and is close to the airport and the Malian army camp where the Russians are.

The ruling generals in Bamako since the 2020 coup severed the alliance with France and its European partners in the fight against jihadists, and decided to open up to Russia militarily and politically.

The military council decided to cooperate with hundreds of elements it says are Russian military trainers, while Western powers say they are mercenaries from the Russian paramilitary Wagner Group.
