The operation conducted by the Malian Armed Forces was executed with precision and aimed to disrupt the terrorist leaders' structured network and destabilize their chain of command, the statement said.
The Malian Armed Forces (MAF) conducted a large-scale operation in Tinzaouaten commune of the Kidal region against the Front for the Liberation of Azawad (FLA) on Sunday, and eliminated several high-ranking members of terrorist groups, who were involved in several targeted attacks against civilians and the MAF, hindering the security mission in the Kidal region, the MAF said in a statement.

"The success of this operation once again demonstrates the professionalism of the MAF and the determination of the Malian state to fight terrorism in all its forms and strengthen national security," the statement read, adding that the raid significantly reduced the terrorist group's operational capability and limited its ability to coordinate attacks throughout the country.

Efforts to secure the Kidal region continue, and operations to control the area are aimed at making this victory a lasting one, the MAF also pointed out.
