An Islamist group linked to al-Qaeda claimed to have seized a military base in the north of Mali‚ inflicting heavy losses on the country's military.  The Malian army‚ however‚ said it had repulsed attacks on bases in the Timbuktu region Friday.  Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimeen (JNIM) took control of the Niafunke camp Friday with the help of a suicide-bomb vehicle‚ the group said on its Al-Zallaqa Foundation media platform.  That statement was verified Saturday by SITE‚ a U.S. organization that follows radicalized groups.  Tens of soldiers were killed or wounded in the battle‚ and two captured‚ JNIM claimed.  It released photos showing five armored vehicles it claimed to have captured‚ along with weapons and ammunition.   It said that dozens of soldiers had been killed or wounded and two had been taken prisoner. It was not possible to immediately verify the information.  JNIM often abandons camps they capture after a few hours.  The group also claimed to have hit another army camp‚ a few miles away in Goundam‚ with mortar fire.  The Mali military said on social media that the attacks had been "energetically repelled."   "After artillery fire on the two camps‚ the assailants tried in vain to occupy them and were routed‚" it said.  Verifying claims by either side is complicated because access to the region is difficult and dangerous.  Since 2012‚ Mali has been ravaged by groups affiliated to al-Qaeda and Islamic State‚ as well as by self-declared self-defense forces and bandits.  The north in particular has seen intensified military clashes following the recent withdrawal of United Nations forces at the demand of the ruling junta‚ which set off fighting between the military and Islamist and separatist forces to control the area.

A massive cargo ship owned by an Israeli billionaire was reportedly the victim of an Iranian terrorist attack on Friday in the Indian Ocean. The Jerusalem Post noted that the news was first reported by the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen channel‚ which is affiliated with the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah. The Malta-flagged CMA CGM SYMI cargo ship was targeted by a triangle-shaped‚ bomb-carrying Iranian Shahed-136 “kamikaze” drone while in international waters‚ a senior U.S. defense official told the Associated Press. The official said that the U.S. believes the attack was carried out by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRCG)‚ a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) that is comprised of the hardline faction of Iran’s military. تعرضت سفينة شحن مملوكة لإسرائيل لهجوم في المحيط الهندي، وفقًا لتقرير لوكالة أسوشييتد برس للأنباء من مصادر أمنية أمريكية، وتعرضت السفينة CMA CGM Symi لهجوم بطائرة بدون طيار إيرانية، بعد أقل من أسبوع من سيطرة الحوثيين في اليمن. سفينة الشحن جالاكسي ليدر. pic.twitter.com/H84f54G9kS — Dr.Sam Youssef Ph.D.‚M.Sc.‚DPT.
