The Malian Armed Forces (FAMa) destroyed on 13 November a camp of armed terrorist groups located 105 kilometres south-east of Kidal, where several individuals and military equipment were present, according to the General Staff of the Malian Armed Forces, as cited by Bamada.net. The operation was carried out as part of Operation Dougoukoloko.

During the same surveillance mission on the Gao-Anéfis-Aguelhok axis, the FAMa also destroyed a vehicle described as terrorist 12 kilometres north of Yenchechi. Another vehicle, camouflaged under a tree, was spotted and then destroyed three kilometres north of Ingouzma, according to the General Staff.

The Malian forces said they would continue reconnaissance operations in these sectors to assess the effects of the strikes and search for any residual threats. Operation Dougoukoloko had already led to several operations announced by the FAMa, notably a strike on bases near Kadiana and Boulkessi on 13 November.
