At least 185 people have died in recent operations involving various states. The Malian president appeared publicly on Tuesday alongside the Russian ambassador in Bamako. Malian defense forces faced attacks from several armed groups including Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimin and the Azawad Liberation Front. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that on April 25 at approximately 5:30 AM, these groups used heavy machine guns, automatic grenade launchers, and artillery against government forces. The Ministry stated the attacks were an attempt to organize a coup against the legitimate government. The groups reportedly coordinated plans for the attack after finding common ground. This cooperation follows the late 2024 overthrow of pro-Russian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
