On October 6, 2021, al-Qaeda-allied jihadists from Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM) ambushed a Malian convoy in Mopti Region, killing scores of Malian soldiers. The ensuing firefight left dozens of jihadists dead.[1]

Ambush[edit]

In the late morning of October 6, Malian vehicles passing through Bodio, a small village between Koro and Bandiagara, were ambushed by IEDs. Jihadists waiting nearby then engaged in a firefight with the stunned Malian soldiers.[2] In the following days, the Malian army claimed to have responded "vigorously" with airstrikes and further operations in the area.[2]

Later, the attack was claimed by Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin.[3]

Losses and aftermath[edit]

On the evening of the ambush, the Malian government announced a death toll of nine soldiers.[2] However, local officials stated that sixteen soldiers were killed and ten were injured.[3][4] Malian operations after the attack killed fifteen jihadists and captured twenty motorcycles, according to Malian government officials.[2][1]
