Summary
Mali's armed forces and their Russian allies have carried out what Human Rights Watch described as 'apparent indiscriminate' drone strikes, along with other abuses, during an intensified offensive against insurgents in recent months. The operations have killed dozens of civilians, according to a report released by the rights group on Monday. The escalation in drone strikes and resulting civilian deaths more than doubled between April and August compared with the same period last year, citing data from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED). The strikes hit a cattle market in the Bandiagara region and a health center in the northern Kidal region, among other incidents. Human Rights Watch also documented other alleged abuses by Malian forces, including the shooting of five young girls in the Segou region. Mali has previously denied killing civilians during counterinsurgency operations.
