Mali drone strikes kill at least 10 civilians at wedding
* Drone strikes by Mali’s army have killed at least 10 civilians as they prepared to celebrate a wedding in the central region of San in another escalation of the conflict since armed groups launched a widespread coordinated assault late last month.
* The strikes on Sunday occurred during a security crisis after attacks on the military government’s positions last month by fighters from the al-Qaeda-linked Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) and Tuareg separatists known as the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA).
* “The tragedy occurred as the villagers were preparing the second edition of this traditional collective wedding, a major cultural event for this community.”
* The strikes targeted “a procession of motorbikes following one another”.
