The Malian army has announced the elimination of several high-ranking leaders of northern armed groups during airstrikes in Tinzawaten, near the Algerian border.

The operation, described as a major security milestone, follows the recent formation of the Front de Libération de l’Azawad (FLA), a new politico-military coalition in the region. Malian authorities emphasize their commitment to maintaining sovereignty and combating insurgency in the north.
