On Saturday, the Malian army stated that several towns in the north, such as Gao and Sévaré, came under rebel attack. The statement did not provide details on casualties or damage. Meanwhile, the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) declared a new offensive aimed at taking the town of Anefis, according to a Facebook post by spokesperson Mohamed Elmaouloud Ramadane. He said the separatists were targeting the town. The information comes from a report by FRANCE 24's Wassim Nasr, citing both the army statement and the FLA announcement. The conflict in northern Mali has been ongoing for years, with rebel groups frequently attacking government-held areas.
