Drone attacks kill six on Mali-Algeria border

Drone attacks on Tuesday killed at least six civilians in a northern Mali town, where Malian troops and their Russian allies recently faced significant losses in battles against separatist rebels, local officials and separatist sources told AFP.

Separatist spokesman Mohamed Elmaouloud told AFP that "drone fire from the Malian army accompanied by Wagner (Russian fighters) targeted civilian gold miners working in a mine near the Algerian border".
