A Mauritania International Airlines Boeing 737-500, registration 5T-CLA performing flight L6-101 from Bamako (Mali) to Nouakchott (Mauritania), rejected takeoff from Bamako at high speed as result of losing engine power. The aircraft came to a stop past the end of the runway still on the paved surface of the runway end safety area at about 19:00L (19:00Z). No injuries and no damage occurred.

Instead of requesting the aircraft to be towed to the apron the crew attempted to turn the aircraft around on its own power resulting in the aircraft exiting paved surface. The aircraft needed to be shut down and remained on the ground for about 25 hours as a result, until engine repairs had been completed and inspections confirmed no additional damage to the aircraft as result of the overrun.

Mali's accident investigation board is investigating, the black boxes have been removed from the aircraft.
