MINUSMA condemns in the strongest terms the two terrorist attacks that took place  respectively on the 27th and 28th of June. The first attack targeted the military camp of Nara in the region of Koulikoro, 30 km from the Mauritanian border and the second was launched against the administration and security infrastructures of Fakola, 150 km west of the city of Sikasso, near the border with Côte d'Ivoire.

The Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations in Mali and Head of MINUSMA, Mr. Mongi Hamdi, presents his condolences to the Government and to the Malian Armed Forces, who have lost three of their soldiers in the attack of Nara, as well as to the families of the victims. MINUSMA wishes a speedy recovery to the injured.

MINUSMA once again emphasizes the urgency of combining all efforts to counter terrorism threats to Mali and to its people.
