Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for an attack in northeastern Mali that killed at least 53 soldiers and one civilian. The group's Amaq news agency reported on Saturday though it did not cite any evidence for that claim.
Mali's government said that the soldiers and civilian were killed in an attack on an army post in northern Mali in one of the deadliest strikes against the West African country's military in recent memory.
The government said in a statement reinforcements have been dispatched to secure the area and hunt down the attackers.
In September, nearly 40 soldiers were killed in two separate jihadist attacks on two military bases.
