The French army said the air strikes had destroyed about twenty vans in an armed column that had left Libya to penetrate deep into neighboring Chad and ignored three days of warning strikes.
According to a statement, airstrikes on Tuesday and Wednesday took place at the request of Chad and in coordination with his army, saying the raid seemed to aim to "destabilize the country". He does not say where the air strikes took place.
France indicates that the armed convoy originally included about 50 vans. We do not know immediately what happened to others. A French statement on Monday said the warning strikes "helped to curb this hostile advance and disperse the column".
The French president visited Chad in December and reaffirmed his support for African anti-extremist forces in the face of Libyan chaos.
