FLA drones strike Africa Corps base in Kidal

Tuareg separatist militants from the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) have conducted first-person-view (FPV) drone strikes against a joint Russian Africa Corps and Malian Armed Forces (FAMa) base in Kidal. The attack, which occurred on Saturday, targeted an armored VP11 vehicle and two pickup trucks. This strike comes amid ongoing combat operations in the region and follows the recent withdrawal of Russian and Malian forces from a remote garrison in the same city. The use of FPV drones by rebel groups continues to be a significant tactical development in the Malian conflict.
