Reported safe; residence at the Kati base destroyed
Before dawn on April 25, 2026, gunmen hit Mali's capital, the Kati military base, and the cities of Sevare, Gao and Kidal in the most coordinated single-day attack the country has seen in years. By mid-morning the Tuareg-led Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) said its fighters held Kidal — the symbolic seat of the Tuareg independence movement — and the regional governor had taken refuge in a former United Nations compound. At the Kati base outside Bamako, Defence Minister General Sadio Camara's residence was destroyed.
