The Malian forces successfully neutralized around 100 terrorists in operations conducted in the areas of Anefis and Tabrichat in northern Mali. The General Staff of the Armed Forces stated that these operations, carried out on Wednesday, targeted armed terrorist groups linked to the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims and the Azawad Liberation Front.
During the operations, which included 13 airstrikes, six combat vehicles, and one pickup truck were destroyed. The army’s General Staff emphasized its commitment to ongoing operations against armed terrorist groups throughout the country. In a separate incident, more than 200 terrorists were neutralized in coordinated air and ground operations in Anefis in the northern Kidal region.
The operations in Anefis involved 35 airstrikes and resulted in the destruction of five armoured vehicles, approximately 20 pickup trucks, and about 100 motorcycles. The Malian Armed Forces, along with their partners, are continuing operations in Anefis, with a clear determination to combat armed terrorist groups until their objectives are accomplished.
Following attacks on several localities in Mali on July 4, including Aguelhok, Anefis, Gao, Sévaré, and Kenioroba, the Malian army successfully repelled the assaults. Mali has been grappling with a challenging security situation for years, marked by frequent attacks by armed groups, especially in the northern and central regions of the country. In a tragic incident in April, the country’s Defence Minister Sadio Camara was killed in an attack by armed terrorist groups at his residence in the town of Kati, near Bamako.
