Authorities in Mali say the capital Bamako is "under control" following an early morning attack on Tuesday in which shots were fired at a gendarmerie building and a military zone near the city’s airport. The al Qaeda-linked group Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimeen (Jnim) has claimed responsibility.
People heading to the mosque for morning prayers turned back as shots rang out in the Banankabougou neighbourhood around 5:30am local time.
