Bamako: The Malian army announced that a dozen terrorists were killed on Thursday during a military operation in the northern Kidal region of the country. The operation targeted a group of terrorists traveling in a pickup truck west of Telabit.
According to Ghana News Agency, the engagement followed a period of observation and verification by the soldiers. The military operation resulted in the destruction of the pickup truck used by the terrorists, as confirmed in a statement released by the army late Thursday.
Since 2012, Mali has faced a complex crisis involving separatist insurgencies, jihadist activities, and intercommunal violence. These conflicts have led to the deaths of thousands and the displacement of hundreds of thousands across the nation.
