Moroccan Drones Strike Sahara-Mauritania Border, No Casualties Reported

The Moroccan armed forces are said to have carried out drone attacks on Tuesday on the border between the Sahara and Mauritania, hitting civilian vehicles transporting people. No loss of human life has been reported.

Two attacks would have been carried out by the Moroccan forces in the area on Tuesday, according to sources on the ground at Ecsaharaui. The first took place in the town of Mijek, where hundreds of Sahrawis and Mauritanians extract gold from a mine.

The second attack, which occurred in the same town less than two hours after the first, according to the same sources, caused material damage, but no loss of human life.

Since last weekend, the Moroccan armed forces have concentrated their drone attacks on an area known for gold mining.
