Clashes began around the village of Araouane in Mali 's Taoudénit Region , after French forces launched an attack against JNIM militants in the area. The initial and subsequent engagements were part of Operation Barkhane , the goal of which is to eliminate JNIM commanders in the region.[2] [better source needed ]
Clashes [ edit ]
French forces fired on a JNIM vehicle in the Araouane area on 29 March 2018, killing two militants and capture one. It was later confirmed that one of the dead was Moroccan Said al-Maghribi, an AQIM-JNIM commander and explosives expert close to AQIM's regional leader and a senior leader of JNIM, Djamel Okacha.[3]
A second engagement was started by French forces on 6 April 2018, when they attacked JNIM militants in the same area, first with an airstrike and then with ground forces . The battle resulted in the death of JNIM Mauritanian commander Ayman al-Shanqiti, along with five other militants. One militant was also captured[4] [5] [6] [better source needed ]
Aftermath [ edit ]
In response to the clashes, the JNIM attacked the MINUSMA base in Timbuktu Airport , known informally as the "super camp".[7] [8] [9] One MINUSMA peacekeeper was killed, whilst 14 others were wounded;[10] however, 15 militants were killed and the attempted raid was repelled.[11]
