The Malian army said that it had thwarted a”terrorist” attack on Friday on the outskirts of the capital where a key base used by the country’s ruling military is located.
Armed forces “vigorously repelled” a dawn attack at the garrison town of Kati, the army said on Facebook, adding that situation was “under control” and two assailants had been killed, according to a provisional toll.
One of Africa’s most troubled states, Mali is struggling with both a jihadist insurgency and political turbulence, experiencing two coups within the last two years.
