The Malian Armed Forces (FAMa) carried out air strikes on 10 and 11 November against positions and equipment attributed to the JNIM and FLA armed groups, as part of the Dougoukoloko military operation, Mali Actu reports. The strikes notably targeted areas north-west of Tinzaouatène, Tonka in the Timbuktu region, as well as a logistics base in Sikasso containing vehicles and military equipment.
Mali Actu presents these operations as an extension of Mali’s military action beyond the north of the country, with strikes reaching as far as Sikasso. The media outlet says the operations rely on the use of technical intelligence and aerial and ground surveillance aimed at targeting the networks of armed groups.
The strikes come after six terrorist positions were struck in Kidal on 8 November and four strikes against armed groups on 4 November. They continue operations carried out as part of Operation Dougoukoloko, whose reinforcement in Kidal was reported on 7 October.
