notes: Around 4 June 2021 (between 4 - 5 June), suspected JNIM militants attacked the town of Solhan (Solhan, Yagha).

The militants killed around 160 people and wounded 147 others, burned and pillaged vehicles, houses, shops, and the market. JNIM denied responsibility and condemned the attack, although local JNIM subgroups are believed to have carried out the attack.
