Dioura is a village and the seat of the commune of Karéri in the Cercle of Ténenkou in the Mopti Region of southern-central Mali. Its Wikipedia article records armed attacks on the Malian army base there. Gunmen attacked the base on 17 March 2019 and killed at least sixteen soldiers. On 30 September 2023 the Permanent Strategic Framework claimed it had captured the base after two hours of fighting, first claiming to have killed 98 soldiers, a figure later revised to 81. Militants of JNIM attacked again on 23 May 2025 and temporarily took control of the nearby base, where 41 soldiers died.
