France denies claims they killed civilians with air strike in Mali

Mali’s government and the French army denied claims that a French air strike killed civilians at a wedding. They insisted that only Islamist militants were hit. Jeunesse Tabital Pulaaku, an advocacy group for Fulani herders, published a list on Thursday of 19 people it said were killed, including the father of the groom at a wedding. France intervened 8 years ago expecting a short involvement.
