Al Qaeda’s affiliate in Mali claimed responsibility on Saturday for an attack on the country’s main military base, which it said was a response to governmental collaboration with Russian mercenaries.

An armoured personnel carrier is seen at the main military base after heavy gunfire was heard early on Friday, in Kati, outside the capital Bamako, Mali July 22, 2022.An armoured personnel carrier is seen at the main military base after heavy gunfire was heard early on Friday, in Kati, outside the capital Bamako, Mali July 22, 2022.

The raid, carried out using two car bombs, also wounded six people, while seven assailants were killed and eight arrested, Mali’s military said. It justified the attack by citing the presence in Mali of mercenaries from Russia’s Wagner Group, which began supplying hundreds of fighters last year to support the Malian military and has since been accused by human rights groups and local residents of participating in massacres of civilians.
