Islamist shelling from Bourem wounded at least one Malian soldier and six other people in Gao, in the first such attack in the city in months. French and Malian troops headed out to look for the source of the attack. The Tuareg MNLA and two other groups that had pulled out of a peace deal returned to the accord on Oct. 5 after the government released nearly two dozen prisoners.
