The Chadian militant rebel group known as "The Military Command Council for the Salvation of the Republic" (CCMCR), who have forces stationed in southern Libya, were targeted by air strikes, according to reports from Chadian press.

It is unclear whether the drone responsible for the bombing was operated by Chad or France, and there have been no confirmed reports of human casualties, the newspaper Chad One reported, citing sources in Libya.

Identical military sources have indicated that a Chadian military reconnaissance plane, a Cessna 208B, increased its flight over Libyan airspace on August 15 and 16, particularly over the bases of the CCMCR in southern Libya.
