New Moroccan drone strikes against the Polisario : A beginning of a resumption of daily strikes?

The Moroccan army reportedly carried out a strike against “armed elements” in the area of Mijek near the border with Mauritania. This action was allegedly in response to rumors and threats from the Polisario about the arrival of Iranian drones. However, the pro-Polisario media claims that the strike was against civilians. The incident is said to have taken place on Tuesday, November 22, 2022.

According to an independent Saharawi source, there have been strikes against the Polisario army and civilians near Mijek in Western Sahara. The source claims that three airstrikes carried out by the Moroccan air force in the region have resulted in three deaths and significant material destruction. The attacks are said to have targeted an old service station where traders were stopping in transit between Mauritania and Western Sahara. Additionally, the source claims that on November 25, 2022, a series of attacks were carried out against presumed civilians and soldiers.

It is not clear if the reported strikes and attacks in Western Sahara are true, as Mauritania prohibits travel in the disputed territory claimed by the Polisario and the UN mission in the region (MINURSO) has not confirmed the incidents. It is also not possible to travel from Algeria to Western Sahara due to the presence of Algerian military bases and positions along the border between the two countries. As a result, anyone attempting to enter the area may face strikes or arrests at the border.
