location: Misseni
notes: Dozens of Islamist militants on motorcycles attacked security forces in Misseni, killing at least one policeman and wounding two. They raised the flag of Ansar Dine before escaping, as the Malian army sent backup forces. At least two members of the Dawa Islamist sect with suspected ties to Ansar Dine were later arrested in connection with the incident.
