This Barkhane aircraft did not drop 'gaseous substance' on Timbuktu
Images of an aircraft over Timbuktu releasing what appeared to be flames went viral, sparking rumors of a 'gaseous substance' being dropped on the city. Initially attributed to the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), it was later confirmed that the plane belonged to the French Operation Barkhane and was not releasing toxic gas but was engaged in aerial dropping of men and materials. The aircraft, coming from Niger, was using flares as a defensive measure against potential threats. Misinformation was amplified by the unusual sight and time of the operation, but was clarified by officials.
