Islamic militants and separatists say they attacked several locations in Mali’s capital, Bamako, and other cities in one of the largest coordinated attacks in the West African country in recent years. The government gave no death toll but said that 16 people were wounded in the attacks on Saturday. Mali has previously faced insurgencies fought by militants affiliated with al-Qaida and the Islamic State group, as well as a separatist rebellion in the country’s north. The al-Qaida-linked militant group JNIM claimed responsibility for the attacks on Bamako’s international airport and four other cities. Residents in central and northern Mali reported gunfire and explosions, and videos showed militant convoys in Kati, while gunfire exchanges occurred in Kidal and Gao.
