The family of Mali's Defence Minister, General Sadio Camara, has confirmed his death following a suicide truck bombing targeting his residence near Bamako. The attack occurred over the weekend as part of a series of coordinated rebel assaults across the country. Reports cited by the BBC indicate the bomber drove into Camara's compound, killing him and causing significant damage. Multiple international media outlets have corroborated the incident, linking it to a broader surge in violence. General Camara had served as defence minister since 2021, following his role in a military junta that seized power in a coup. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
