Thirty- five soldiers were killed in a militant attack on a military position in northern Mali, the army said. The attack deals another blow to the West African country's military following deadly jihadist raids in late September that underscored the increasing reach of armed groups operating in the region. From their stronghold in Mali, groups with al-Qaeda and Islamic State links have been able to fan out across the Sahel, destabilising parts of Niger and Burkina Faso. Central Mali has slipped from government control despite the presence of French and other international forces.
