The Malian Armed Forces (FAMAs) have intensified security operations following an attack on a civilian convoy between Gao and Ansongo on February 9. Authorities are tracking Abou Mariama, the suspected leader of the group responsible.
In response, FAMAs launched air and ground operations targeting key locations linked to the group. A suspected logistics vehicle was intercepted, and security sweeps continue in the region.
This operation is part of broader efforts to secure key routes and ensure the safety of civilians. Authorities remain committed to restoring stability in affected areas.
