Between the 9th and 17th of february,the French Barkhane force carried out several operations in Central Mali around the town of Mopti.
These actions resulted in the neutralization of more than 50 terrorists,the destruction of more than 30 vehicles and motorcycles and the capture of large quantities of weapons,phones and electronic equipments.
These operations were carried out in two phases. The first one took place between the 9th and the 10th northwest of Mopti. Strikes conducted by drones and Mirage 2000s,coupled with the use of attack helicopters have neutralized more than 20 fighters. Among them one senior commander of the islamic state in the greater sahara.
The second between the 16th and 17th south of Mopti where the katiba Macina is active. Airstrikes followed by an helicopter borne operation involving commandos led to the neutralization of more than 30 terrorists.
These two operations, with a heavy material and human toll, weaken the offensive potential of armed terrorist groups in this region.
