MALI: The death toll in an attack on the village of Ogossagou in central Mopti has risen to more than 160, according to local sources, in what appears to be Muslim-on-Muslim violence.

SYRIA: Syrian Democratic Forces declared the “100% territorial defeat of ISIS”—ending a six-week offensive to flush out the militants from an area the size of New York’s Central Park. “This is a big moment not just for us, but for all of the world,” said SDF spokesman Kino Gabriel.
