The account @centralnewsza reported differing estimates for the 10 September 2026 attack on the Dioura military camp, including a JNIM claim of 150 Malian soldiers killed and more than 100 held. On 14 October, Observer reported that JNIM had released video of the 10 September attack. Global Insurgency Watch later said JNIM footage claimed 150 killed, 93 captured, and weapons, motorcycles and vehicles seized. GIW itself cautions that these figures and other claims are unverified; the footage was not viewed here.
