Mali's army said it repelled Tuesday morning's attacks, allegedly "neutralising" more than 80 militants, without saying if there were any other casualties.

However, Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM), an al-Qaeda-linked group who said it was behind the attacks, said it had taken control of three army barracks.
