EXCERPT:
Armed groups in military-run Mali have launched renewed coordinated attacks in several towns across the country.
The assaults on Saturday targeted army positions, including a base used by its troops and Russian forces.
A separatist Tuareg-led group and a regional al-Qaeda affiliate claimed responsibility for the attacks, which took place more than two months after the capital, Bamako, and several other locations were targeted in a coordinated assault by the same groups.
