Videos show clashes inside the city of Kidal

The Roya Africa correspondent in northern Mali reported that fighting has moved into the city of Kidal after Azawad fighters took control of Malian army positions on the outskirts, in a development reflecting an escalation in the intensity of the clashes.

Our correspondent added that the footage we are publishing documents these clashes from داخل the city, showing Azawad fighters moving through neighborhoods of Kidal.

The videos also show bodies believed to be Malian army personnel lying on the ground, with no independent confirmation so far regarding the number of casualties or the circumstances of their deaths.

In another video, the footage appears to show fighters taking control of a Malian army position داخل the city, with military vehicles and equipment visible at the site.

Malian authorities have not yet issued any official comment regarding these developments or the content of the footage.

Coverage is ongoing.
