The Malian Armed Forces are continuing surveillance, control and security operations as part of Operation Dougoukoloko. On 11 September 2026, intelligence gathering made it possible to locate armed groups, according to the General Staff of the Malian Armed Forces.
The Malian Armed Forces struck several positions attributed to terrorist armed groups during operations conducted on 3 and 4 November 2026 in several parts of the country. The general staff said the actions, carried out as part of Operation Dougoukoloko, were based on intelligence that notably helped locate a base near Koro.
The Malian Armed Forces struck six positions held by armed terrorist groups on 7 November, about 90 kilometres south of Kidal, after targeting a position 50 kilometres south-west of Ménaka the day before. These intelligence-guided strikes are part of Operation Dougoukoloko, according to Bamada.net.
Les Forces armées maliennes ont mené plusieurs frappes les 3 et 4 novembre contre trois positions attribuées à des groupes armés dans les zones de Koro, Sandaré et Sofara. Les sites abritaient notamment des individus, des véhicules, des motocyclettes et des dépôts de carburant, selon l’État-major général des Armées.
The Malian army seized 2,000 portable radios, a pick-up and eight motorbikes north of Timbuktu during Operation Dougoukoloko. The interception, carried out on 9 November, also led to the detention of a man suspected of transporting the equipment to armed groups, according to the Malian Armed Forces.
