Though there was no concrete proof, Algerian officials believed Morocco, which for a year had been battling the separatist Polisario Front in the territory, used Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drones in the strike on a truck convoy.
Algiers was furious, accusing Ankara of taking sides between two North African countries. Turkey has longstanding friendly relations with both.
In September 2021, Morocco received the first of 13 armed drones it bought for a reported $70m from private Turkish firm Baykar.
