The Islamic State group says it carried out attacks committed up to two months ago in the Sahel - but failed to comment on the reported death of its regional leader there.
The group and its jihadist rival al-Qaeda are blamed for most attacks in the region, including the targeted killing of French aid workers in 2020.
The IS group's weekly newspaper, al-Naba, claimed attacks against the army and pro-army "militias" in Niger, against al-Qaeda rivals in Mali and Burkina Faso, and against spies in Mali - covering a period between early July and early September.
The group reiterated that such delays were caused by the security and technical circumstances affecting the mujahidin on the ground.
