Mali

Suspected jihadists and Tuareg separatist fighters have launched coordinated attacks across Mali,targeting several towns,military positions and a major prison in a fresh escalation of the country's conflict.

Heavy fighting erupted before dawn,with clashes reported in Gao,Anefis,Aguelhok and Sevare,while gunfire also rang out at a prison near the capital,Bamako.

The attacks come just over two months after a previous offensive that dealt a major blow to the ruling military junta and killed Mali's defence minister.
