The Islamic State organization, banned in the Russian Federation, announced the elimination of more than a hundred militants associated with Al-Qaeda (banned in the Russian Federation) of the Jamaat Nusrat Al-Islam Wal-Muslimin (JNIM, banned in the Russian Federation) group in Mali
Six people were taken prisoner, writes Directorate 4.
The skirmish took place last week in Gao Province. According to IS, JNIM militants attacked IS in the Menaka district, but after meeting fierce resistance, they chose to retreat.
At the same time, the Mali Air Force suddenly intervened in the clash between the groups. Upon impact, an unspecified number of militants were killed. For the first time in a long time, the MTO admitted losses from an airstrike.
JNIM resources also reported clashes with IS in the Gao region. But, according to them, the DNIM militants emerged victorious. As evidence, the MTO published a video with captured weapons and motorcycles.
