In Algeria, a few immature adult groups were found, together with isolated and scattered hoppers and adults. In Mauritania, isolated and scattered adults were observed, while groups were reported by locals early in the month. Isolated adults were seen in Iran. No locusts were reported elsewhere. Control operations: Doubled in June (88 501 ha treated) compared to May (41 946 ha). Forecast: Adult groups may form small swarms in Morocco, where maturation may progress, and some mature groups may migrate towards the Oriental region and western Algeria, where breeding could continue in July. However, most groups may move southwards into Mauritania or other Sahelian countries, where summer breeding is expected to begin.
