India strongly condemned multiple terrorist attacks across Mali today, extending deepest condolences to victims’ families and expressing solidarity with the Government and people of Mali. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) press release specifically mourned the demise of General Sadio Camara, Mali’s Minister of Defence and Veteran Affairs, killed in one of the assaults.
MEA stated the attacks targeted various locations, underscoring India’s firm commitment to combating terrorism in all forms. “We also express our sincere condolences on the demise of General Sadio Camara,” the release noted, highlighting New Delhi’s support for regional peace efforts.
The coordinated assaults come amid escalating jihadist violence in Mali, where groups like JNIM and ISGS have intensified operations. General Camara’s death marks a significant blow to Bamako’s military leadership, as the veteran officer led counter-terror operations.
India reiterated its zero-tolerance stance on terrorism, aligning with prior condemnations of Mali incidents. The statement emphasizes solidarity during this crisis, with no Indian casualties reported in today’s attacks.
Mali’s government has battled insurgency since 2012, with foreign forces withdrawing amid rising casualties. Today’s MEA response follows similar statements on past strikes, including 2021 attacks on Malian troops and UN convoys.
New Delhi pledged continued support for stability initiatives, as Sahel nations face mounting threats from Al-Qaeda and ISIS affiliates.
The press release, issued April 28, 2026, underscores India’s diplomatic push against global terror networks while mourning key losses like General Camara.
