Casamance : trois militaires perdent la vie lors après une explosion accidentelle (DIRPA)
A tragic accident claimed the lives of three Senegalese soldiers early Tuesday morning, March 17, 2026. The tragedy occurred in North Sindian, in Military Zone No. 5, following an accidental explosion.
According to the Directorate of Information and Public Relations of the Armed Forces (DIRPA), three other soldiers were injured and evacuated for medical treatment.
This accident occurred while troops were engaged in a mission to destroy cannabis fields along the border with The Gambia. These operations, launched more than a week ago, aim to dismantle the networks of armed gangs involved in drug cultivation and to guarantee the safety of local populations.
Despite this setback, the armed forces reaffirmed their determination to continue operations in the area in order to neutralize armed groups and combat the illicit Indian hemp economy.
