A drone operated by Morocco’s Royal Armed Forces fired on a group of Mauritanian miners near a buffer zone in the Moroccan Sahara. The strike took place on Monday at Kliat El Fola, east of the security wall. A Mauritanian source linked to informal mining unions said the miners had entered the restricted area. One Mauritanian miner was killed in the attack. The same source reported that a second bombardment occurred, but its target and casualties were not specified. Hespress cited the union-connected account without an immediate response from Moroccan authorities.
