Mali has faced a volatile security situation for years, with attacks by armed groups occurring frequently, particularly in the northern and central parts of the country.

The Malian Armed Forces said Saturday that several of their positions across the country had come under attempted attacks.
In a brief statement, the army said the attempted attacks targeted the military positions in Aguelhok, Anefis, Gao, Sevare and Kenioroba.
"The situation is being monitored," the army said, without immediately providing details about the suspected attackers, the circumstances surrounding the incidents or any possible casualties.
