RFI Afrique reports that more than 200 cattle and sheep were killed and homes burned in Mangara, in Dioumara commune, Mali, on 28 October. The report attributes the acts to the Malian army and its Russian Africa Corps partners; it says no human casualties and gives no further details about how the animals or homes were harmed. RFI says this was the second similar incident in eight days and that JNIM is active in the area; those details are attributed to RFI and have not been independently verified.
