Insurgents kill dozens in Mali base and attack Timbuktu: Reuters

  • On June 2, 2025, jihadist insurgents attacked a Malian army base and fired shells near the airport in Timbuktu, Mali.
  • The attack comes amid ongoing violence since 2012 involving extremist factions associated with Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, occurring under Mali’s current military junta governance.
  • Insurgents used a vehicle packed with explosives near the city centre base and triggered heavy gunfire, but they did not raid the airport guarded by Russian forces.
  • Two security sources reported the killing of more than 30 soldiers, while local officials and witnesses described widespread firefights and shelling across the city.
  • The Malian military declared the situation 'under control' and stated it is fighting back against the terrorists, although regional violence continues to displace millions.
