In a statement on Saturday, the army said fighting was ongoing.
There were reports of gunfire heard near the country’s main airport in the capital, Bamako.
Witnesses and journalists on the ground said two explosions and sustained gunfire were heard near Mali’s main military camp and at several other locations across the military‑ruled country.
