In a statement dated Wednesday, April 3rd, the military hierarchy announced another victory for its combat forces against the enemies. Indeed, the Director of Information and Public Relations of the Armed Forces reported that several terrorists were neutralized in certain localities in the Mopti region, in central Mali.

Based on reliable and precise intelligence regarding the presence of criminals on Tuesday, April 2nd, Malian air units were mobilized in Lemeb and the Douna area (Douentza).
