Al Qaeda affiliate Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin, or JNIM, launched coordinated attacks on July 4 with the Tuareg-led Azawad Liberation Front, or FLA, on Mali's northern towns of Gao, Aguelhok and Anefis, thereafter seizing most of Anefis, where Malian security forces and Russia's paramilitary Africa Corps remain retrenched in the town's military camp as of July 6 following failed resupply attempts, Radio France Internationale reported. Also on July 4, JNIM launched an attack on a prison in the southern locality of Kenieroba, located 74 kilometers (46 miles) south of Bamako, as well as on Malian security forces and pro-government Dozo militias in the central regions of Mopti and Sevare.
