Algeria
Algeria closes airspace with Mali, recalls ambassadors to Mali and Niger
Algeria has denied accusations that it shot down a Malian reconnaissance drone within Malian territory. The Algerian defense ministry stated that radar data proves the drone had violated Algerian airspace. This accusation has exacerbated the already strained diplomatic relations between the two nations. In response, Algeria announced the closure of its airspace to flights "to and from Mali" and recalled its ambassadors to both Mali and Niger. This action appears to be in retaliation for a similar measure taken by the military-led juntas in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger on April 7th, when all three Sahel states recalled their ambassadors from Algeria over the drone downing incident. This event took place on 04/09/2025.
