Airstrikes on a village in northern Mali near the Algerian border killed 21 civilians, including 11 children.

If confirmed, the attack on the village of Tinzaouatine would mark the largest number of civilians killed by drones since the breakdown of a peace agreement between the country’s ruling military junta and armed pro-independence groups.

The strikes Sunday targeted a pharmacy, then other strikes followed that targeted people gathering in the vicinity.
