ISGS regularly targets regional security and military forces, including Niger Gendarmerie forces, Burkina Faso security services, and Malian soldiers. The group claimed responsibility for the killing of a Canadian geologist in January 2019 and was suspected of attacking a Canadian mining company convoy the same year. In February 2024, ISGS claimed responsibility for an attack on a Catholic church during Sunday mass in the village of Essakane, Mali, killing at least 12 people. In December 2024, IS Sahel militants on motorbikes attacked a market in the town of Chatoumane, Niger, killing 91 soldiers and at least 40 civilians.
