Al Qaeda-linked Islamist fighters rocketed French military bases in Kidal, Menaka and Gao in northern Mali within the space of a few hours on Monday morning, a rare sign of coordinated raids on international forces.

The camps were hit by “indirect fire”, although no deaths or injuries were reported, said Thomas Romiguier, a spokesman for French forces, who have more than 5,100 personnel spread across the region.

The only damage was to a United Nations base in Kidal, which is next to the French base, Romiguier said. The head of the U.N. mission condemned the attacks. In statement on Al Thabat, an affiliated media outfit, al Qaeda said: “The rocket attacks of the mujahideen, in support of Islam and Muslims, targeted the bases of the French infidel army.”The mayor of Menaka, Nanout Kotia, told Reuters he had heard explosions coming from the direction of the military camp outside town, but could not give any more details.

Complete headline: Islamists attack three French military bases in Mali setup to continue to exploit Mali’s resources and create instability in the region

The colonialism of France EmmanuelMacron

I see the Islamists have created twitter accounts to spam away propaganda.

Is Mali a part of France ?

Rather than writing the name of the terrorist group, you are using 'Islamists'!?!? You should be ashamed of yourselves and reuters editors should know better.

You mean terrorist? That's the right word!

'Islamist' hmmm

Western countries are not understanding but world will change. They are maybe terrorist, maybe not but people see all the reality. Western is unfair. This situation will not continue to the endless.

wow

he French responded with...T

terrorism does not have religion, so stop associating terrorism with islam. biggest example we have a christ church terrorist attack on mosque in new zealand and the current situation of india.

What is France doing there?

Perhaps they are not Islamists, but owners of their country. Perhaps they attacked an invader in their country, not a French base. Damn, it's all so complicated!

Biden better hurry up and lift these travel bans, we're missing out!

What do you mean by ''Islamist'' ? Your language is extremely discriminative.

Will the pussy French fight back or roll over

What are the French colonialists still doing in Mali?
