BBC News. Hello, I'm Jerry Smit.
French officials say thirteen French troops have died when two helicopters were involved in an accident in Mali. It's the biggest loss of French troops in a single day in more than three decades. Here's Will Ross. The statement from the French presidency doesn't give details of what happened, but says two helicopters were involved in an accident on Monday evening as they were taking part in a combat operation against Jihadists. President Emmanuel Macron has expressed deep sadness over the incident and described the victims as heroes. Since deploying to Mali in early 2013, French soldiers have led joint operations with armies in the Sahel region. While there have been reports of some successful attacks against the Islamic militants. There is concern that the Jihadi's threat is steadily growing. This month, militants linked to Islamic State and Al-Qaida have killed dozens of soldiers and civilians in Mali and Burkina Faso.
法国官员表示，两架直升机在马里发生事故，造成13名法国士兵死亡。这是30多年来法国军队单日阵亡最多的一次。以下是威尔•罗斯的报道。法国总统发表的声明没有详细说明发生了什么，但称周一晚上两架直升机在参加打击圣战分子的战斗行动时发生事故。法国总统埃马纽埃尔•马克龙对这一事件表示深切哀悼，称受害者是英雄。自2013年初部署到马里以来，法国士兵一直在领导和萨赫勒地区军队的联合行动。尽管有报道称法国部署的军队针对伊斯兰武装分子的打击取得了一些成效，但人们担心圣战分子的威胁正在稳步增长。本月，与伊斯兰国和基地组织有关的武装分子在马里和布基纳法索杀害了数十名士兵和平民。
