400 Killed, Including Commanders, and Heavy Material Losses Suffered by "Al-Qaeda" Militia in Counter-Attack in Northern Burkina Faso Burkina Faso – Sahel – Amaq Agency: The "Al-Qaeda" militia lost more than 400 of its members—including commanders—as well as hundreds of various machine guns and motorcycles, following a counter-attack in the Sahel region in the north of the country. Military sources told Amaq Agency that Islamic State fighters repelled a large-scale attack by the "Al-Qaeda" militia last Friday in the village of Ganadaouri, in Oudalan province. The sources added that fierce clashes lasted for an hour and a half, after which the enemy fled, suffering numerous casualties—both killed and wounded—during extensive pursuit operations. The sources confirmed that the attack resulted in the deaths of at least 400 members, most of whom were killed during the pursuit, including field commanders. The sources stated that the fighters burned 300 motorcycles and seized one vehicle, more than 460 various machine guns, 13 rocket launchers, and 104 additional motorcycles. The attack dealt a severe blow to the "Al-Qaeda" militia, which had mobilized hundreds of its members over several days; however—by the grace of God—the outcome of the attack turned out the opposite of what they had plotted. This marks the second time in recent weeks that the militia has suffered heavy losses, following the loss of 200 members in a similar attack in Dori.

The group only took claim of the Burkina Faso clashes and put a similar figure to the one Reported Previously, while stating that this is the second time JNIM suffers heavy casualties, weeks after the Dori Attack. @Conflict_Monitor
