Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Malian army has issued an update on the terror attack near the town of Tessit.<\/p>\n

The military said ISIS affiliate Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS) carried out the incursion.<\/p>\n

The terrorists killed four civilians, and 17 Malian soldiers, destroyed vehicles and equipment; nine soldiers are missing.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn 07 August 2022 around 15h00, the army units of Tessit\u2026 responded vigorously to a complex and coordinated attack by armed terrorist groups, presumably from ISGS,\u201d the army said.<\/p>\n

The statement added that at least seven terrorists were killed in the battle which left 22 injured.<\/p>\n

Tessit is close to Mali\u2019s border with Niger and Burkina Faso; the ISGS and other armed groups routinely attack the three countries.<\/p>\n

Mali has been unstable in the last decade with three military takeovers since 2012.<\/p>\n

Colonel Assimi Go\u00efta was installed as transitional president in May 2021 after he led mutineers to oust ex-President Ibrahim Keita.<\/p>\n
