Explosions and gunfire reported near Mali's military camp, raising concerns amid ongoing security challenges in the region.
Two loud explosions and sustained gunfire were heard early Saturday (April 25, 2026) morning near Mali’s main military base Kati outside the capital Bamako, and soldiers deployed blocking off roads in the area, a Reuters witness said.
It was not clear what caused the explosions and no militant group immediately claimed responsibility for an attack.
