> More than 100 Malian soldiers may have been killed in last week’s militant assault on the Dioura military camp, local sources said, while over 80 were reportedly captured. Al-Qaeda-linked JNIM claimed responsibility and later said it killed 150 soldiers, but that figure could not be independently verified. The army has not issued an official toll.
