MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Militants on Tuesday attacked and seized a military base in the town of Nampala in central Mali, local media reported.

The attack on the town near the Mauritanian border has resulted in casualties, Radio France Internationale (RFI) said.

Mali has been in turmoil since a 2012 military coup that saw separatist Tuareg tribes seize control over large areas in the northern part of the country. Islamist groups that emerged in Mali in the last decade have recently staged several terrorist attacks in the country.
