Mali’s Defence Minister General Sadio Camara has been killed amid coordinated attacks on military sites across the West African country, sources told Al Jazeera.
The news on Sunday came a day after Camara’s house in the garrison town of Kati came under attack.
Brant Philip, a security analyst, disclosed this is his X handle.
“Malian Defense Minister Sadio Camara and some of his relatives were killed by the JNIM SVBIED (some say a truck was used) that struck his house yesterday morning according to Le Figaro and Jeune Afrique,” Philip wrote.
The blast is said to have destroyed much of Sadio Camara’s residence in Kati.
DAILY POST gathers that this was not the first attempt on his life.
On April 25th jihadists from Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) and Tuareg rebels launched a coordinated assault on the capital and several other cities.
