马里军方周日成功击退了对San镇第23步兵团军事基地的武装袭击。基地指挥官El Oumrani中校称约40名恐怖分子在战斗中被消灭[1],但马里军队也付出了代价,至少10名士兵在交火中阵亡[1]。
袭击于当地时间周日凌晨5时左右发动,持续约两小时[1]。与基地组织有关联的圣战组织JNIM(Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin)宣称对此次攻击负责[1]。该组织使用无人机、重型机枪和装甲车突破了基地周边防线[1],一度占领了基地,随后撤出[1]。自2012年以来,马里持续面临叛乱活动的威胁[1]。
Mali's military repelled an assault on its garrison in San on Sunday, according to armed forces officials. Lieutenant Colonel El Oumrani, the base commander, stated that approximately 40 terrorists were eliminated during the confrontation [1]. The attack, which began around 05:00 local time and lasted roughly two hours, also resulted in casualties among Mali's own forces, with at least 10 soldiers killed in action [1].
The assault was claimed by JNIM, a jihadist organization with ties to al-Qaeda, which deployed drones, heavy machine guns, and armored vehicles to breach the perimeter defenses of the 23rd Infantry Battalion base [1]. The group initially captured the facility before ultimately withdrawing from the position [1]. Mali has faced ongoing insurgent violence since 2012, making this engagement part of a broader struggle against armed militant groups across the country [1].
