French forces have secured the northern Malian town of Kidal, the last main stronghold of Islamist rebels in the region, military officials say.
Militant Islamist fighters had already left the town, near the Algerian border, and are believed to be hiding in the surrounding mountains.
The capture of Kidal came days after French and Malian forces retook the provincial capitals Gao and Timbuktu.
Kidal official Haminy Maiga said the French troops had met no resistance.
"The French arrived aboard four planes," said, Mr Maiga, who heads the regional assembly.
"They took the airport and then entered the town, and there was no combat. The French are patrolling the town and two helicopters are patrolling overhead."
