The Inkadogotane ambush was carried out by ISIL against Malian soldiers on 9 July 2017.
Ambush
[edit]On 9 July 2017, about 50 ISIL militants suspected to be under the commands of Amat Ag Assalate and Almahmoud Ag Akawkaw ambushed a convoy of eight vehicles carrying soldiers from the Malian Army, near the border with Niger, about 60 km (37 mi) from Ménaka.[1][2][3][4] During the fighting, some Malian soldiers fled into the desert, while dozens of others were reportedly killed. After the battle, 29 Malian soldiers went missing,[5][6][7] two of whom were later found wandering in the desert.[8] The bodies of eight Malian soldiers were found on 17 July 2017.[9][10][11]
