Mali’s army said two of its soldiers were killed and 10 wounded in the fighting. However, around 20 rebels were eliminated.
On Friday, one of the army helicopters crashed during a mission in the city of Kidal, causing no casualties.
In social networks X A video was published showing many dead bodies. The commentary says that the amateur video shows 30 bodies of Wagnerites.
It was previously known that Russian mercenaries from the Wagner PMC were helping Malian troops carry out attacks and drone attacks, which led to the deaths of dozens of civilians.
We remind you that in April of this year it was reported that the Wagnerites fled Belarus to Africa because they paid more there.
