Dozens of Russian mercenaries fighting for the Wagner group in Mali were killed in a brutal ambush over the weekend.
The attack, reportedly carried out by Tuareg separatists, resulted in a significant loss of life and equipment for the Wagner and Malian forces.
The ambush occurred near the border with Algeria in the Tinzaouatene area, where fighting has intensified in recent months.
The Wagner group, known for its involvement in conflicts worldwide, has been operating in Mali alongside the Malian army since 2022.
