Coordinated attacks by JNIM and FLA across Mali kill defense minister and force Russian withdrawal from Kidal
On Saturday, al-Qaeda-linked JNIM and Tuareg separatist group FLA launched coordinated attacks on Bamako's airport and multiple cities across Mali. Mali's Defense Minister Sadio Camara was killed in a suicide bombing on his residence in Kati, and Russian Africa Corps forces withdrew from the northern city of Kidal. The FLA declared Kidal 'free' after an agreement was reached for the peaceful exit of Russian and Malian forces.
