Armed men have attacked a military training camp in Mali’s capital, Bamako
It described the attackers as “terrorists”.
The announcement came after gunfire was heard ringing out in the city early this morning.
The attackers struck the National Gendarmerie school near the city’s airport but the situation is now “under control”
Mali is one of several West African countries that have been fighting an Islamist insurgency for more than a decade. But it is not clear who is behind this shooting.
The military seized power in a coup in 2021, accusing the government of failing to do enough to quell the insurgency.
However, three years later, there is no sign of the attacks ending.
